Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a safe, convenient, and effective allergy treatment that retrains the immune system to build tolerance to allergens. Instead of injections, SLIT is taken as drops or tablets under the tongue—making it especially useful for children, busy adults, or those who prefer a needle-free option.
Research from Johns Hopkins and other leading institutions confirms strong evidence that SLIT reduces allergy symptoms and the need for medications.
For patients and providers interested in exploring the science behind SLIT, the following resources offer in-depth research and guidelines:
