Why Allergy Shots?

Allergy shots can reduce allergic symptoms to substances like molds, pollen, dust, and animal dander for between three weeks and three months. At AFC New Providence, we administer allergy shots to people aged 18 years and older. Please note that our treatments do not extend to insect venom or food allergies.

The Benefits of Allergy Shots

If you feel like you've tried just about everything to relieve your allergies and/or allergies are interfering with your everyday life, allergy shots may be the answer for you. Allergy shots, such as long-lasting corticosteroids, can give patients some much needed relief. Patients can see notable improvements in symptoms within 24-48 hours and can work up to three months.

How Allergy Shots Work

Allergy shots, such as long-lasting corticosteroids, calm your immune system when exposed to allergens. A long-acting shot means patients may only need one shot per allergy season!

Preparing for Allergy Shots

It's important to understand both the potential benefits and the minor risks associated with allergy shots. While generally safe and highly effective, some patients may experience local reactions at the injection site, such as redness, swelling, or itching. These are typically manageable with ice and antihistamines.
