Rush Immunotherapy

Traditional Allergy Shots

Allergy specialists use allergen immunotherapy aapc or allergy shots to combat allergic rhinitis, allergy triggered asthma, and life threatening allergies to insects. Allergy treatment shots reduce asthmatic patients’ dependency on inhalers. Allergy shots allow for long term allergy and asthma relief after 3-5 years of consistent treatment. Research proves that allergy shots prevent the development of new allergies.

Rush

When administering Rush allergen immunotherapy, a medical professional will inject allergenic extracts repeatedly into the patient throughout a 6 hour period to place the patient’s as close to the maintenance dose as possible. This procedure allows for 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. Compared to traditional build up allergy injection method, the allergy patient’s reaction rate for Rush Immunotherapy does not increase. By reaching the maintenance dose sooner, patients may experience relief faster than if their allergies were treated with the traditional method.
