As an allergy immunotherapy, ODACTRA targets the cause of your house dust mite allergy. That makes it different from anything you may have purchased over the counter.
Over-the-counter medicines treat allergy symptoms, not the cause of the allergy. That’s why any relief you get from them is short-term.

If you’re like most people with allergic rhinitis, you’re probably allergic to more than 1 thing. One allergy alone might not make you feel terrible. But when it’s added on to a house dust mite allergy, it can make your symptoms from other allergies worse. The point at which you have an allergic reaction is called an “allergy threshold”.
Reducing the impact of house dust mites makes you less likely to reach the threshold and start feeling symptoms.
ODACTRA can be taken along with other medicines you might be taking for different allergy symptoms—and can help you find relief from those, too. Over time, you may need fewer medicines because you’ll already be reducing these other allergy symptoms by taking ODACTRA.

House dust mites are tiny bug-like creatures. They are so small you can’t see them. But they are almost everywhere indoors. This is a problem because many people are allergic to dust mites.
There are 2 main ways to treat house dust mite allergy.
The first is to try to lower the number of house dust mites in your home. Here are some tips on how to do that.
There are also medicines that may help. You can get some medicines over the counter (OTC), but others must be prescribed by a healthcare professional.
OTC medicines can help treat the symptoms of house dust mite allergy, but they don’t treat the cause. To treat the cause, you will need a prescription for a type of treatment called “allergy immunotherapy” (im-yuh-noh-thAIR-uh-pee) from your healthcare professional.
Only a healthcare professional, such as an allergy doctor, allergist, or ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor, can find out for sure if you have a house dust mite allergy. If you have allergy symptoms all year long (sneezing, watery eyes, congestion, and/or a runny nose), there’s a chance it’s from house dust mites.
An allergy doctor, allergist, or ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor can do a skin prick test or blood test to find out if you have house dust mite allergy.
Allergy immunotherapy (im-yuh-noh-thAIR-uh-pee) is a type of prescription medicine used to treat the root cause of allergies—not just the symptoms. It’s made from natural ingredients—very small doses of what you are allergic to (known as an allergen). Over time, allergy immunotherapy can make you less sensitive to the allergen. You may also find that you need to take fewer medicines to help with your symptoms. There are 2 main forms of FDA-approved allergy immunotherapy:
There are 2 types of allergy immunotherapy (im-yuh-noh-thAIR-uh-pee) your doctor may prescribe: allergy shots, or allergy tablets, like ODACTRA. It’s important to be educated about the options available to you—this way, you can take an active role in your treatment and feel confident about your decision.
