IMMEDIATE MECHANISM: CLINICAL ALLERGIC DISORDERS

2.12

Therapeutic approaches

We distinguish three approaches to treat symptoms in immediate type allergies.

The first option is ‘elimination’ – meaning the avoidance of the allergen. The second option is the ‘pharmacotherapy’ – which refers to specific drugs that are supposed to block or inhibit a mechanism causing the allergic symptoms. The third option is ‘immunotherapy’ – which aims at modulating the immune reaction.
