How to Perform Home Immunotherapy?
What do I need to collect before giving an injection?
Before beginning any allergy shot you must collect the following:
- Dosing Schedule: your customized schedule of your weekly injections as provided by the center.
- Rubbing Alcohol Pads: need to be purchased at any pharmacy.
- 28 1/2 gauge 1 cc/ml Allergy Syringes: also need to be purchased at the pharmacy, however, most insurance companies will pay for your syringes with a prescription.
- Epinephrine Pen (EpiPen!" or TwinJect!"): a prescription for your epinephrine pen will be given to you, you must present the pen to the staff prior to taking home your serum!!
- Asthma Medications: asthmatics only.
- Allergy Serum (vials): the vials that are made in our center must be kept cold, either in a refrigerator or in a cold thermos when traveling.
