Often people avoid cats not because they don't like this animal. It is known that allergy to cats, or rather – on their fur, brings inconvenience to every fifth person in the world. Recently, scientists have invented a new drug that can effectively deal with allergies to cat hair.
German scientists have carried out painstaking work, the main goal of which was to identify a drug that can effectively stop the symptoms of allergic asthma. The specialists presented the results of their research work at the congress of the World Allergist Organization in Rio de Janeiro.
According to scientists, the best option for dealing with allergy symptoms is the therapy with modified allergens (allergoids) in sublingual tablets.
The researchers came to these conclusions based on a number of clinical trials they conducted, which indicated that the use of such tablets is a very effective method of dealing with allergies. Patients who were allergic to cats were asked to take sublingual tablets of monomeric allergoids while tapering maintenance medication. The group of people who participated in the study consisted of 70 people.
The results of the experiment were very positive. So, when summing up the results, the specialists took into account the results of the questionnaire, adverse reactions and the use of symptomatic drugs. At the end of treatment, among all participants, local adverse reactions occurred in only seven people out of 70. Serious manifestations of allergies and systemic reactions were not observed at all, and the general condition of the subjects improved significantly.
