ALLERCEPT^® Drops

ALLERCEPT® Immunotherapy Treatments

Formulations are based on ALLERCEPT test results, the clinical history of the allergic animal, and geographical region. While every animal responds differently , most animals respond positively with relief in 3-6 months. Read about Bernie’s case. Effective immunotherapy can be sustained safely throughout the life of the animal.

ALLERCEPT® test results provide the foundation for appropriate selection of allergens for specific allergy treatment. While steroid drugs are often used for short-term relief from the clinical signs of allergy, prolonged use of steroids can have serious side effects. Antihistamines, fatty acids, and shampoos can help, but typically provide only temporary and limited benefit. Immunotherapy is, by far, the safest, most effective treatment for pets with allergies.

ALLERCEPT immunotherapy subcutaneous treatments are formulated based on ALLERCEPT test results, the clinical history of the allergic animal, and geographical region. Most animals respond positively with relief in 3 to 6 months.

Using Heska’s ALLERCEPT® allergen-specific IgE test to identify the important allergens, selection of allergens for sublingual treatment is performed in exactly the same manner as ALLERCEPT subcutaneous injections.

A series of specially-formulated treatment extracts in gradually increasing strengths, ALLERCEPT Therapy Drops are a palatable solution delivered in tiny amounts (2 pumps twice per day) under the pet’s tongue, and can be used in dogs that have had prior anaphylactic reaction to allergy shots. Sublingual therapy is successful in 60% of patients.
