What Does SLIT Stand For?
SLIT stands for SubLingual ImmunoTherapy
SLIT, or SubLingual ImmunoTherapy, is an allergy treatment method that involves administering allergens under the tongue to induce immune tolerance. This approach aims to alleviate allergic symptoms by gradually desensitizing the immune system to specific allergens, making it a convenient and non-invasive alternative to traditional allergy treatments like injections. SLIT is suitable for various allergies, including pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, and is usually well-tolerated with fewer side effects.
