SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy) utilizes under-the-tongue liquid drops and has shown success in alleviating allergy symptoms – not to mention being more convenient for patients.
Jeannie Lilly started SLIT therapy in 2012 after meeting with allergy and immunology doctors at Ohio State. She found relief by taking a couple liquid drops each morning to treat her pollen allergies.
