Oral Immunotherapy
OIT is a MEDICAL TREATMENT (not a supplement) involving gradual exposure to increasing allergen doses under medical supervision. FDA-approved Palforzia for peanut allergy (2020). Achieves desensitization (tolerance while on therapy) in 60-80% of patients. Sustained unresponsiveness (lasting tolerance) less reliable. MUST be done under allergist supervision - severe allergic reactions possible during treatment. Not a cure but reduces accidental exposure severity. Most studied for peanut, egg, and milk allergies.
