Details.
Clinically supervised treatment that gradually introduces increasing amounts of specific food allergens to desensitise children and reduce the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposure. Programmes are available for peanut, tree nuts, milk, egg, wheat, sesame and other allergens. Includes comprehensive food allergy assessment, suitability evaluation, an individualised dosing protocol, medical supervision, safety monitoring and ongoing support. Treatment requires daily dosing at home and regular clinic visits. OIT is suitable only after individual assessment, and asthma must be well controlled if present.
