Used for skin prick testing to confirm maple pollen sensitization, and as immunotherapy (subcutaneous or sublingual) to treat allergic conditions caused by box elder and coast maple tree pollens, including seasonal allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and mild-to-moderate allergic asthma.
Allergen immunotherapy works by administering gradually increasing doses of the specific allergen extract, which helps the immune system develop tolerance over time through production of blocking antibodies (IgG) and modulation of the allergic immune response, reducing sensitivity to future pollen exposure.
Should only be prescribed and administered by specialists experienced in allergen immunotherapy. Initial doses must be given under medical supervision due to risk of anaphylaxis. Contraindicated in severe asthma, cardiovascular disease, and during pregnancy. Treatment typically requires 3-5 years for sustained effectiveness. Local reactions at injection site are common; systemic reactions require immediate medical attention.
