Hi,

Would you mind telling me what immunotherapy you get, specifically for cats? I'm currently on Grazax for grasses etc. I would love to be able to get a cat, but I am quite allergic and get flu-like symptoms after a while. (Also, my blood tests don't show that I'm allergic to cats, so that complicates things).




In the US, most clinics don’t make a point of showing the patient what the product is. They screen the patient (usually a skin test), prescribe either a single antigen formulation, a combination of antigens in different vials, or they mix up a custom vial for the patient, and they keep it in a fridge in the clinic. The antigens come from whatever provider the clinic buys them from.
