DID YOU KNOW?
Grass pollen allergy / Hayfever is a common problem in Melbourne and Victoria and in some sufferers it may be severe.
Allergen Immunotherapy is a treatment that can give significant relief from symptoms. This is where we administer doses of the allergen (in this case usually grass pollens) in order to de-sensitise or re-train the immune system to be less responsive to exposure.
Immunotherapy (desensitisation) can now be administered as either the traditional injections or with newer sublingual treatments (administered under the tongue) that do not require regular injections in a doctors clinic.
These treatments are not started during the springtime and so now is the perfect time to be assessed and consider if such treatment may be right for you.

Current Research Studies
We are looking for people with asthma who are willing to help with research studies. Currently we are looking for people with mild, moderate and severe asthma who would be willing to provide samples of blood and and sputum to help with studies that identify underlying lung inflammation in asthma.
We are recruiting for trials of new asthma drugs for people with moderate and severe asthma.
If you are interested in any of the studies and trials above, please email (reception@allergyasthma.com.au) or call 03 9328 4573 to let us know and we will get back to you.
