Diagnosis of codfish allergy through skin prick testing; allergen immunotherapy (desensitization) for patients with confirmed IgE-mediated codfish allergy who have symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema, or anaphylaxis upon exposure.
Contains purified codfish proteins that trigger an allergic response in sensitized individuals during diagnostic testing. For immunotherapy, gradual exposure helps induce immune tolerance by stimulating blocking antibodies and reducing mast cell reactivity over time.
Should only be administered by trained allergy specialists with emergency resuscitation equipment immediately available. Contraindicated during uncontrolled asthma, severe cardiovascular disease, or beta-blocker therapy. Requires documented positive skin test or specific IgE before initiating therapy. Local reactions at injection site are common; systemic reactions including anaphylaxis are possible.
