Why do people choose allergy shots?
Most people on allergy shots chose that therapy because medications simply did not give them enough relief from their allergies. Others choose shots to reduce the number of sinus infections or asthma attacks that are triggered by allergic exposures and are not prevented by medicines. Many patients hope to reduce or eliminate their use of medications over the several years of allergy shot therapy. Others desire treatment that makes a long lasting change to a less allergic state possible. Parents may want to reduce their allergic child’s chance of developing asthma in the future by choosing several years of allergy shots.
