SLIT (Sublingual Immunotherapy) is designed to gradually desensitize the immune system to specific environmental allergens by placing small amounts of an allergen under the tongue.
SLIT or Sublingual Immunotherapy is an allergy treatment that places small amounts of an environmental allergen under the tongue. SLIT treats the underlying cause of allergic reactions and is designed to gradually desensitize the immune system to specific environmental allergens. If your child is instructed to enroll in SLIT prior to or during TIP (Tolerance Induction Program), it is a requirement if you wish to continue the Tolerance Induction program.
Why is SLIT required?
Environmental allergies share similar proteins as food allergens. To treat certain food allergies, environmental allergies need to be treated as well. Our unique formula is TIP-driven, created with extensive research by our founder Dr. Randhawa, and designed for our patients.
In addition, your child will also gain relief from pollen allergies including improvement in nasal, eye, and lung symptoms. The typical treatment duration of SLIT is 2 to 3 years. However, the duration of SLIT therapy is patient-specific and may be longer or shorter.
