SLIT has an excellent safety profile. Typical effects (early weeks) are mild and short-lived:
Tingling/itching under the tongue or slight throat irritation

The oral immune system is less reactive than the skin, so SLIT carries a lower risk of severe reactions compared to injections. Across dozens of clinical trials, no cases of anaphylaxis were recorded.
Yes. Many patients switch because they want a more convenient, needle-free option they can use at home. If you have recent allergy test results, we can often get you started quickly.
