Usage Information
20, 21, 22, 23 Allergenic extracts are indicated for use in diagnosis and immunotherapy of patients presenting symptoms of allergy (hay fever, rhinitis, etc.) to specific environmental allergens. The selection of allergenic extracts to be used should be based on a thorough and carefully taken history of hypersensitivity, and confirmed by skin testing.24, 25The use of mixes of unrelated antigens for skin testing is not recommended since, in the case of a positive reaction, it does not indicate which component of the mix is responsible for the reaction; while, in the case of a negative reaction, it fails to indicate whether the individual antigens at full concentration would give a positive reaction. Utilization of such mixes for compounding a treatment may result, in the former case, in administering unnecessary antigens and, in the latter case, in the omission of a needed antigen.Statistically controlled blind studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of therapy with Amb a 1.26 However, double blind studies have demonstrated a greater effectiveness for whole Short Ragweed extract when compared to Amb a 1 alone.27 Short Ragweed Extracts, standardized on the basis of Amb a 1 extract, would seem to be a logical choice for immunotherapy.Allergens to which a patient is extremely sensitive should not be included in treatment mixes with allergens to which there is much less sensitivity, but should be administered separately. This allows individualized and better control of dosage increases, including adjustments in dosage becoming necessary after severe reactions which may occur to the highly reactive allergen.
