Who should get immunotherapy for allergies?

Immunotherapy is recommended for people who have moderate to severe allergy symptoms, have had a specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody identified in their blood, and have not experienced sufficient relief from medications or cannot tolerate medications. Unfortunately, while immunotherapy works well for some people, it may not work at all for others.
