Asthma medications are costly with pills and inhalers that range from $300 to $1,200 a month. But in spite of their high price, these medications don’t solve the asthma problem. They merely treat the symptoms and are often only partially-effective at that. Furthermore, asthma medications can have harmful side effects such as tremors, dizziness, nervousness and steroid-related effects.
Fortunately, though, there is hope beyond medications for asthma sufferers. Since the majority of asthma has its root in allergy, proper allergy treatment can often control or eliminate the lung disease. The most effective form of allergy treatment is known as desensitization wherein the body is exposed to gradually increasing amounts of the most common allergens (i.e. dusts, molds, pollens and pet dander) until it learns to tolerate them comfortably. Extracts of the allergens are mixed into a saline solution and administered through allergy shots or, more conveniently, through under-the-tongue allergy drops.
At the Family Allergy Clinic in Arizona, patients take the under-the-tongue drops daily at home with outstanding success rates. Under the care of our allergists, an average of 90 percent of patients experience marked symptom relief in just two to three months with most being able to significantly reduce or stop their prescription medications.
