Local side effects during sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy and pathogenetically based methods for their correction (Review)
https://doi.org/10.53529/2500-1175-2024-2-9-17
Abstract
Introduction. The study of the effectiveness and safety of allergen-specific immunotherapy remains relevant due to the emergence of a personalized approach in allergology and new dosage forms. Adverse reactions during sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy are the leading reason of treatment discontinuation. Understanding the mechanisms of side effects and knowing how to overcome them allows us to achieve better tolerability of allergen-specific immunotherapy and maintain patient compliance.
The aim of the review is to combine the available literature data on the frequency, nature, and pathogenetic basis of adverse events during sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy and to consider options for their prevention and treatment.
