Treatment Options

Allergy Shots

Allergy shots, also called allergen immunotherapy, are a proven method for achieving lasting relief from allergies. Expert allergists in Monroe, CT, have simplified the treatment process with a convenient at-home shots program, making it easier to receive your scheduled shots and stick to your allergy treatment plan.

Build-Up Phase

Your treatment plan starts with the build-up phase, where you will receive injections gradually increasing allergen doses 3 to 4 times weekly. Depending on your injection schedule and how well your body tolerates the treatment, this phase can last up to 8 months.

Injections 3–4 times weekly
Gradual increase in allergen concentration
Duration may be as long as 8 months

Maintenance Phase

Once the build-up phase is complete, your allergist will identify the optimal dose and transition you into the maintenance phase. During this stage, you will receive injections about twice a week.

At this time you may observe a reduction in your allergy symptoms. If symptom improvement is noted, you will remain in this phase for approximately 4 months. After this period, your allergist will conduct tests to determine whether further injections are necessary.

Injections twice weekly
Regular evaluations to tailor treatment
Usually lasts around 4 months or as recommended by your allergist
