Used for the diagnosis of Gambel's oak pollen allergy via skin prick testing, and for allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) to reduce sensitivity in individuals with allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, or allergic asthma triggered by oak pollen exposure.
The extract contains oak pollen antigens that, when introduced to the skin or system, provoke an immune response in sensitized individuals. This allows for identification of specific allergies or, with repeated exposure in immunotherapy, helps desensitize the immune system over time.
Should only be administered by healthcare professionals trained in allergen immunotherapy. Skin testing carries a risk of local reactions or, rarely, systemic allergic responses. Immunotherapy requires a build-up phase with gradually increasing doses. Not appropriate for patients with uncontrolled asthma or certain cardiovascular conditions.
