Immunotherapy & Biologics

You're given slowly increasing doses of the allergen you react to — either as an injection (allergy shots) or under the tongue (sublingual immunotherapy, SLIT). Over time, your immune system is retrained to tolerate the trigger and stops overreacting.

• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) from dust mites or pollen
• Allergic asthma
• Allergic conjunctivitis
• Insect-venom allergy

Immunotherapy is a longer-term commitment, usually over about three years, but the benefits can last well beyond treatment. Around 80% of suitable patients achieve significant, lasting relief. It's recommended after testing confirms your specific triggers.

Biologics are advanced, targeted medicines for moderate-to-severe allergic conditions that don't respond well to standard treatment. Rather than dialling down the whole immune system, they block the specific molecules — such as IgE or key interleukins — that drive allergic inflammation.

• Severe allergic asthma that stays uncontrolled despite inhalers
• Chronic spontaneous urticaria (long-standing hives)
• Severe eczema (atopic dermatitis)
• Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

Given as regular injections, biologics can sharply reduce flare-ups and the need for oral steroids. We assess whether immunotherapy, a biologic, or a combination is the right fit after confirming your diagnosis.

These treatments work best when matched to a confirmed diagnosis — which is why accurate testing comes first. A specialist assessment helps decide whether immunotherapy, a biologic, or both suit you.
