Grazax Immunotherapy Tablets Now Approved for Children Aged 5-17
Filed in archive Allergy Medications , Hay Fever on February 22, 2009
Grazax, an immunotherapy allergy tablet launched
in the UK more than 2 years ago has been launched for treatment of severe hay fever among children and adolescents aged 5 to 17.
Immunotherapy or desensitisation involves treatment with small doses of a highly purified allergen extract (such as grass pollen) which builds up immunity and enables the patient to tolerate higher levels of the allergen. This helps to reduce and even prevent allergic reactions. Unlike traditional hay fever treatments the Grazax tablet works to both control symptoms and tackle the actual cause of the allergy1,2. It is recommended for use in children with severe hay fever symptoms that remain uncontrolled despite trying traditional treatments such as antihistamines and nasal sprays.
Compared to previous immunotherapy regimes that involve injections, the use of sublingual tablets should improve patient compliance, particularly in this age group.

Before EveryOne Jumps for ALLERGY Relief JOY …..
Let’s take a Few Steps Back and Take a Look……
At the > Basics of Allergy / and EACH Sufferer’s Individual Offending Allergen Profile.…..
>> Firstly…
ALLERGY Disease is ALL About “ Layers” of Offending Allergens.
Typically, an Allergy Sufferer is Allergic to MORE than 1 Offending Allergen….. Grass, Cat or Dog may be just one of many. ..
Rather, Allergy Sufferers are Allergic to multiple “Layers” of Offending Seasonal & Year-round Allergens i.e. Pollens, Dust Mites, Animal etc.
Which ALL ADD Up to a Sufferers >> Total Offending Allergy LOAD
Which ultimately crosses the Sufferers Allergy Symptom >> Threshold
Thereby > Producing Allergy Symptoms / Health Complications… Achooo !
>> Secondly…
An Allergy Sufferer is NOT Allergic to a Group of Offending Allergens such as Grass, Tree, Insect, Mold etc …
But rather..
A Sufferer is Allergic to SPECIFIC / Individual Allergens within various Allergen Groups i.e. Animal, Mold, Insect, Pollens.
( Sure some Allergens have Cross Reactivity but lets move this to another discussion ).
Example:
As in the Case of Grazax…
It is “ Assumed” that the Offending Allergen is Timothy Grass.
While Timothy Grass IS one of the main Grass Allergens … it may NOT be one of “YOUR” Offending Allergens.
A Sufferer may be standing in a Field of Timothy Grass and Not have ANY Allergy Symptoms ..
WHY ? > Because they are NOT Allergic to Timothy Grass.
But just wave another Type of Grass ( Johnson , KY Blue ) or another allergen such as RagWeed to which the Sufferer “ IS “ Allergic .. and Stand Back and Watch the Achooo FireWorks GO !
>>>> Conclusion / Solution !
Allergy Disease is NOT a > One “ Pill” Size Fits ALL Disease…
Allergy Disease is NOT About Treating ONE Offending Allergen and your Allergy Problems Go Away !
To Truly take a Correct > Pro-Active > Anti-Allergy ATTACK Position …
Which Neutralizes the SOURCE of Your ALLERGY Disease… Vs Med’s which ONLY Mask Symptoms…
A Sufferer has to:
#1) IDENTIFY As Many of their Offending Seasonal & Year-round Allergens as Possible ( i.e. Allergy LOAD )
#2) Then….
Neutralize EACH of their identified Offending Allergens at the Source….
with “Let Likes CURE Likes” Allergen Specific ImmunoTherapy Allergy DROPs.
Because EACH Allergy Patient has a Different Allergy Profile i.e. What they are Allergic TO …
YOUR Allergy DROPs are Custom Formulated Just for / to YOU !
By Neutralizing > As much of YOUR Offending Allergen LOAD as Possible…
> You Reduce your Total Allergy LOAD to a Level BELOW Your Allergy Symptom Threshold…..
And You No Longer manifest Allergy Symptoms.
