Allergy Treatment

Allergy Treatment

Good allergy treatment is based on your medical history, which is obtained through a detailed online questionnaire, the results of your allergy tests, and if your symptoms are mild or severe.

Your allergy treatment plan may include three treatment types:
1. Avoiding Allergens or Allergen minimisation Information leaflets

2. Medicines (Pharmacotherapy): Adrenaline, Antihistamines, Biologics, Steroid Sparing Drugs, and steroids
— Anaphylaxis Action Plans with training to use Adrenaline autoinjectors (Epipens, etc)

3. Immunotherapy or Desensitisation: Injection, Sublingual (under the tongue), and Oral
— Allergen Immunotherapy involves exposing the patient to small, increasing doses of an allergen. This helps to build up tolerance to the allergen. Building up tolerance reduces or eliminates allergy symptoms. Tolerance to the allergen typically continues after immunotherapy ends.

Personalized Medicine in Allergy Diagnosis

A more precise and detailed picture of a patient’s sensitisation pattern can be obtained by measuring IgE to potentially allergenic (molecular) components of an allergen. Allergens, such as a species of pollen, a mite or a food, are composed of several different ‘potential’ allergenic molecules that may cause sensitisation

Allergen component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) have the potential to provide a more accurate assessment in diagnosing food allergies. Use of Component Resolved Diagnostics (CRD) has become an interesting and probably essential part of allergy diagnostics.
