Do you know what kind of allergy could be suffering?
If you have an allergy, you probably do not know what kind of allergy is suffering! With the arrival of spring, many people believe that the symptoms for seasonal allergy could be the same as the symptoms for grass allergy.
Most people with seasonal allergies have symptoms such as hay fever, congestion, irritated eyes, itchy nose, sneezing and sore throat reacting to pollen from plants.
In contrast to grass allergy, many people have symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and facial pressure.
It is important to know certainly what kind of allergy you have. Many patients unknowingly are allergic to grass and not to the seasonal allergy. It is recommended to visit the allergist for evaluation and adequately treat the type of allergy and not just the symptoms. Also, grass allergy can occur during the time of December to April. While seasonal allergy may appear at certain times of the year.
Some of the most common treatments in grass allergy could be leukotriene inhibitors, allergen immunotherapy, and sublingual immunotherapy.
For example, the main objective of Timothy Grass SCElstudy is to evaluate whether 16 weeks of treatment with Dupilumab as a complement to subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) improves the symptoms of allergic rhinitis caused by it.
This Timothy Grasstreatment lasts approximately 16 weeks with Dupilumab+ SCIT compared with Monotherapy SCIT allows to assess the safety and tolerability of 16 weeks of treatment with Dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass SCIT. More than 100 people participated in this study using the drug called Dupilumab, between the time of June 7, 2018, and March 25, 2019. Currently, this medication is still being evaluated by the FDA.
