If you experience severe allergy symptoms or have not responded well to
allergy medication, immunotherapy from Ogden Clinic may be a treatment
option for you. The purpose of immunotherapy is to expose the body to
a small, controlled amount of an allergen that will trigger a reaction.
Allergy shots at Ogden Clinic contain just enough of the allergen to stimulate
the immune system but not enough to cause a full allergic reaction.
What’s the benefit of allergy shots for Ogden patients? When your
body receives small amounts of an allergen over time, your immune system
builds a tolerance to the allergy while your body becomes immune to the
reaction. Immunotherapy is used to help the body build immunity naturally.
Visit an Ogden Clinic ENT specialist to determine if this treatment is
right for you. Immunotherapy provides relief for many allergies including:
Seasonal allergies (pollen, trees, grass, and weeds)
Indoor allergens (dust mites, dander, mold, etc.)
Insect stings (bees, wasps, or hornet stings)
Immunotherapy at Ogden Clinic occurs in sessions over time. Every session
is monitored by an ENT specialist during and after treatment. Allergy
shots at Ogden Clinic are usually administered into the patient’s
arm, just under the skin.
When given properly, immunotherapy is over 90% effective. It has been proven
to decrease allergy symptoms, medication use, and prevent new allergies
from developing. Immunotherapy is even used for asthma sufferers!

allergy reactions or want to decrease the amount of medication you currently
