Grastek Information

Grastek (Standardized Allergen Extract, Timothy Grass Pollen) is a prescription sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablet used for immunotherapy to treat grass pollen-induced allergic rhinitis, with or without conjunctivitis. It is indicated for adults and children aged 5 to 65 years who have been confirmed to have a grass pollen allergy through skin and/or blood tests. Unlike traditional allergy medications that only treat symptoms, Grastek is a form of allergen-specific immunotherapy.

The medication contains a small, standardized amount of Timothy grass pollen extract. The goal of this treatment is to help the body gradually build tolerance to the allergens by exposing the immune system to them over a prolonged period. This process works by changing the immune system's response to the grass pollen, essentially training it to no longer react with an allergic response when exposed.

Grastek is designed to be taken once daily. The tablet dissolves quickly when placed under the tongue. To ensure proper absorption, it is crucial not to swallow the tablet for at least one minute after placing it under the tongue, and to avoid eating or drinking for at least five minutes afterward. Treatment should be initiated at least 12 weeks before the expected onset of the grass pollen season and continued throughout the season. In some cases, a doctor may recommend taking Grastek daily for three consecutive years to provide a sustained effect for a fourth year. It is important to remember that Grastek is not an acute-relief medication for symptoms; it is a long-term treatment designed to reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time.
