Oralair Information

Oralair (a standardized sublingual allergen extract from five types of grass pollens) is a form of allergen immunotherapy designed to treat the underlying cause of grass pollen allergies. Unlike antihistamines or corticosteroids that only manage symptoms, Oralair works by desensitizing the immune system to grass allergens. It is a sublingual tablet that dissolves under the tongue, delivering a controlled dose of allergens to the body. This process gradually trains the immune system to tolerate grass pollens, reducing the body's allergic response over time. It is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe seasonal grass pollen allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis in patients whose allergy has been confirmed by a positive skin test or an in vitro test for pollen-specific IgE antibodies.

The mechanism of action for Oralair is a form of immunotherapy. By exposing the body to small, increasing amounts of the allergen, it induces a state of tolerance. While the precise immunological changes are still being studied, it is believed to induce immunological tolerance by modifying the immune system's response. This includes stimulating the production of allergen-specific blocking antibodies (e.g., IgG4) and changing the activity of T-cells and other inflammatory cells. This process effectively reduces the allergic response, leading to a long-lasting decrease in allergy symptoms.

Oralair is a prescription medication approved for use in adults and children 5 years of age and older. The treatment is a long-term therapy, typically initiated about four months before the expected onset of each grass pollen season and continued throughout the season. The first dose of Oralair must be taken in a healthcare setting under the supervision of a physician with experience in treating severe allergic reactions. Patients are typically observed for at least 30 minutes after the first dose to monitor for any signs of a severe allergic reaction. Subsequent doses are taken daily at home. The tablet is placed under the tongue, allowed to dissolve for at least one minute, and then swallowed. It is crucial not to eat or drink for five minutes after the tablet has dissolved to ensure proper absorption.
