Expert Advice from Michael D’Netto, M.D.
If you’re struggling with persistent allergy symptoms despite medications or avoidance strategies, allergy shots—also known as subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT)—may be a game-changing option. But are they right for you?
“Allergy shots are the only treatment that can actually retrain the immune system to stop overreacting to allergens,” says Michael D’Netto, M.D., a Mayo Clinic Health System board-certified Allergist and Immunologist at WinnMed in Decorah. “Unlike medications, they don’t just mask symptoms—they address the root cause.”
