Conducting ASIT is indicated in those cases when it is impossible to exclude the contact of a sensitized patient with an allergen, and is under the control of an allergist doctor.
Before taking the allergen should read the instructions for use of the drug, check the name of the allergen, the amount PNU/ ml, shelf life.
It is necessary to check the integrity of the vials, as well as the absence of turbidity and foreign particles.
Allergen is prescribed for oral administration once a day (morning or evening), 30 minutes before meals. The required amount of drops of the allergen is buried in a teaspoon. To the allergen you can add water with flavor additives at your choice.Allergen should be kept under the tongue for 1-2 minutes, then swallowed. Do not drink, do not seize.
ASIT can be carried out according to two schemes. Each scheme includes a course of basic and supporting immunotherapy. After the main course of ASIT, a course of maintenance immunotherapy should be conducted for 3-5 years.
The first scheme (classical) ASIT
The main course of treatment with an allergen is carried out for 5 months.

Allergens of lower concentrations (1, 10, 100 PNU/ ml) is usually administered three times a week (for example, Monday - Wednesday - Friday or Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday). With the appointment of elevated concentrations (1 thousand, 10 thousand PNU/ ml), the intervals between doses are prolonged and administered twice or once a week.
Supportive immunotherapy
Within 3-5 years after the treatment, it is necessary to take 10 drops of an allergen with a concentration of 10 thousand PNU/ ml once a week.
The second scheme (accelerated) main course treatment is carried out within 50 days.

ASIT begins with the lowest concentration of allergen (1 PNU/ ml), then in the increasing order they pass to the following concentrations (10, 100, 1000, 10,000 PNU/ ml).
Each concentration of the drug is always used from one drop per day, and every next day the amount of drops is increased by one drop. After reaching the number of ten drops (the 10th day) the next day, immediately assign one drop of the drug to the next higher concentration (The intervals between receptions of an allergen with different concentrations are inadmissible).
Supportive immunotherapy
Within 3-5 years after the treatment, it is necessary to take 10 drops of an allergen with a concentration of 10,000 PNU/ ml 3 times a week.
Recommendations for the doctor
The treatment regimen can be changed depending on the patient's condition.
If the patient is well tolerated (no symptoms of an allergic disease), then with maintenance therapy, you can take the maximum dose of the allergen.
In case of symptoms of an allergic disease and worsening of the patient's condition, it is recommended to reduce the dose of the allergen by half the maximum dose or to cancel the drug.
Attention
1. It should be indicated to the patient that he can independently prolong the interval or reduce the dose in case of acute illness or when signs of an allergic disease appear, with subsequent notification to the attending physician. The dose should be lowered also in the event that the break during treatment exceeded in duration of 3 weeks. If the break in taking the drug exceeded more than 3 weeks, then it is necessary to reduce the concentration of the drug. If the break in taking the drug was more than 2 months, then it is necessary to start treatment with the lowest concentration of the drug 1 PNU/ ml.
2.All patients during the treatment should undergo the necessary forms of clinical examination.
