Tell the clinic which medicines you take before testing. Ask for individual preparation advice.
Allergen immunotherapy, sometimes called allergy vaccination or desensitisation, may reduce sensitivity to a clinically relevant allergen in suitable patients.
This is a long-term treatment, usually lasting at least three years. Suitability depends on your symptoms, test results, asthma control and other health factors. Benefits, risks and the treatment schedule are discussed before starting.
Some other preparations may be specially ordered after assessment and can take additional time to obtain.
Bring previous reports and a list of medicines. Discuss when symptoms occur, suspected triggers and treatments you have tried.
Testing is selected after review. If breathing symptoms need investigation, lung-function testing may also be considered.
Your doctor explains the findings and discusses treatment, practical advice and follow-up.

The clinic performs skin prick testing. RAST or allergen-specific IgE blood testing is not performed within the clinic; your doctor can advise about an external laboratory when needed.
Antihistamines can affect skin prick results. Contact the clinic in advance with your medication list for instructions. Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
A positive result alone does not confirm food allergy. Your doctor needs to relate it to your reaction history before advising on avoidance.
No. Immunotherapy requires a clinically relevant allergy and an individual assessment. It is not a guaranteed cure, and asthma should be controlled before treatment starts.
