Adjusting Schedule for Missed Doses and New Vials

Patients building up to a maintenance dose on allergy immunotherapy should receive their shots on a regular predictable schedule for optimum response and minimal risk of reactions. We do understand that life happens and that occasionally a gap may occur when a patient is unable to receive their shot on schedule. It is important to take this into account when a patient is on allergy shots, so that the dose can be adjusted appropriately. If too long has lapsed since last shot during the build-up period, the patient may need to start over from baseline and build up their dose again to avoid adverse reactions.
