Used for the diagnosis of cocklebur pollen allergy through skin prick testing and for allergen immunotherapy (desensitization treatment) in individuals with allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, or allergic asthma triggered by cocklebur pollen exposure.
Contains purified allergen proteins from cocklebur pollen that stimulate the immune system when administered. In immunotherapy, repeated controlled exposure helps the body develop tolerance by inducing allergen-specific IgG blocking antibodies and modulating the allergic immune response.
Should only be administered by healthcare professionals trained in allergen immunotherapy. Skin testing should be performed in a clinical setting with emergency equipment available. Treatment is contraindicated in patients with severe asthma, cardiovascular disease, or during pregnancy. Local and systemic reactions may occur.
