Allergy Immunotherapy is Safe and Effective
A big 2,871-patient study confirms that allergy shots, also known as immunotherapy, are effective and safelinks for reducing symptoms of hay fever.
[snip]the Cochrane reviewers determined that the injections resulted in significant reductions in symptoms and less need for allergy medications when used in suitably selected patients with hay fever. Overall, quality of life was better for people who had undergone the treatment. The studies showed no long-term consequences from adverse events and no fatalities.

"We conclude that injection immunotherapy is a safe and valid treatment option in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis," the reviewers said.

Have you had your immunotherapy shots yet? I've never had them, only because my hay fever hasn't been that bad, really (knocks on wood!). If you've undergone such therapy, I would be glad to hear from you! I'm sure a lot of other readers would love to hear first hand-info on the experience, too!
