Immunotherapy

Allergy immunotherapy is a treatment that aims to make your immune system less sensitive to the things you are allergic to. At PRN MEDICAL in Brooklyn, it is part of our allergy care.

How it works

Immunotherapy exposes your body to small, gradually increasing amounts of a specific allergen, such as pollen, dust mites or pet dander. Over time, the goal is for your body to react less strongly, so symptoms become milder.

Who it may help

Seasonal allergies — symptoms that return every spring or fall.
Year-round allergies — dust mites, mold or animal dander.
Allergies that medication does not control well — or when you would like to rely on medication less.

Getting started

Treatment starts with knowing exactly what you are allergic to. Immunotherapy is a gradual process, and Dr. Yana Ryzhakova will talk with you about whether it fits your health and goals.
