The exact mechanism of allergen action in allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) is not completely clear.

The following biological changes have been proven: The appearance of specific antibodies (IgG4), which play the role of “blocking antibodies”; a decrease in plasma levels of specific IgE for an extended period; a decrease in the reactivity of the cells involved in the allergic reaction; an increase in the activity of interaction between Th2 and Th1 and even Th0 lymphocytes, leading to a positive change in cytokine production (decrease in IL-4 and increase in gamma interferon) that regulates IgE production.

In addition, ASIT induces an immune response, which allows the maintenance of immunobiological memory over a long period of time.

The effectiveness of ASIT is greater when treatment is started early in the disease.

Indications

Allergen specific immunotherapy (ASIT) for patients with type 1 allergic reactions (IgE-mediated), manifested as rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis, with hypersensitivity to pollen of meadow grasses (hedgehog, common common spike, perennial chaff, meadow bluegrass, meadow thymothea), confirmed by positive results in skin testing and/or increased content of specific lgE.

The immunotherapy can be given to adults and children from the age of 5 years.

Interruptions in drug intake should be avoided. The dose should not be increased after a drug skip. If the missed dose is less than 7 days, it is recommended to resume taking the drug in the same dose at which the treatment was interrupted, and then follow the recommended regimen. In case of prolonged absences (more than 7 days) it is necessary to consult with the attending physician.

Special Instructions

In case of surgical operations in the oral cavity (including removal of tubes) the therapy should be interrupted until complete recovery (at least for 7 days). If severe allergic reactions develop, the doctor may recommend taking epinephrine.

It should be taken into account that patients taking tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors have an increased risk of side effects on its administration up to fatal outcome. There is no clinical experience with concomitant vaccination and treatment with the drug.
