Allergy Shots or Drops (Immunotherapy): Are They Worth It?

Who benefits most

Tampa Bay patients with moderate–severe allergies affecting quality of life despite over the counter medications and avoidance.

How shots/drops work

Tiny doses of your allergens train your immune system to react less over time—treating the cause, not just symptoms.

The timeline

  • Build-up: weekly injections/daily drops for several months

  • Maintenance: every 2–4 weeks for 3–5 years for shots and drops

  • Results: many notice improvements in 6–12 months, with continued gains
