Used for skin prick testing or intradermal testing to diagnose immediate hypersensitivity reactions to Cochliobolus lunatus mold. May also be used in allergen immunotherapy for desensitization in sensitized patients.
Contains allergenically active proteins from Cochliobolus lunatus that trigger an immune response in sensitized individuals. In diagnostic use, it elicits a localized allergic reaction (wheal and flare) upon skin application. In immunotherapy, gradual exposure aims to induce immune tolerance.
Should only be administered by trained healthcare professionals experienced in allergenic extract therapy. Requires careful patient selection due to risk of systemic allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. Skin testing should be performed in settings where emergency treatment for anaphylaxis is immediately available.
