Rush Immunotherapy

Traditional Allergy Shots

Immunotherapy or allergy shots are used to treat allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma and life threatening insect allergy. Allergy shots reduce the need for medications in patients with allergies and asthma. Additionally, they provide the potential of long term allergy and asthma relief after 3-5 years of regular treatment. Research has also shown that allergy shots prevent the development of new allergies.


Rush

Rush Immunotherapy involves painless repeated injections of allergenic extracts over a 6 hour period to reach a maintenance or-near maintenance dose. This procedure permits a more rapid build-up toward the maintenance dose. Pre-treatment, with medications used during Rush Immunotherapy, reduces the chance of generalized and localized reaction. The reaction rate for Rush Immunotherapy is not increased compared to traditional build up allergy injections method. Allergy shots are dose dependent. In Rush Immunotherapy, by reaching the maintenance dose quicker, patients experience the clinical benefits much sooner than with the traditional method.
