Drawbacks
- Only available for specific allergies: If you are allergic to cats, mold or tree pollen, the current oral remedies are not for you unfortunately. Currently, the approved pills only treat grass and ragweed allergies. Shots, on the other hand, work for various triggers.
- Limited use: Most people have allergies year-round and the pill is only beneficial to people suffering from allergies during grass season. Doctors can customize the medicine in a shot to address specific allergies as needed.
If you suffer from severe grass or ragweed allergies, the new oral remedies may be an option worth looking into. Consult your allergist to determine what treatment is best for you.
