Abstract
Vaccines or immunotherapy is the only causal and specific treatment of allergic diseases able to modify the natural course of allergic disease. The aim of this paper is to show an update on the administration of allergen immunotherapy (subcutaneous and sublingual) in the field of Primary Health Care, as well as general recommendations for patients with allergy. To this end a review of the literature was carried out.
No differences were found on the modification of regimen patterns or actions to be taken in adverse reactions. In addition, sublingual immunotherapy has to be assessed, which is positioning itself as a safe and effective method in the treatment of allergic disease. This route of administration affords a good tolerance, ease of administration and lack of side effects in allergic patients.
