Sublingual Allergy Drops (CureSLIT) in Texas

Allergy relief without needles. Sublingual drops are a convenient, at-home immunotherapy that retrains your immune system using a few drops under the tongue. At Cure Allergy Clinic, we use a unique protocol called CureSLIT, supervised by Dr. M. Waseem Imam, D.O., and Dr. Baraa Osman, to put your allergies into lasting remission. We serve families across Arlington, Irving, and Mansfield, TX.

Quick Answer

Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) delivers small, increasing doses of allergen under the tongue to build long-term tolerance, with no needles required. Our CureSLIT method is safe for home use and can keep allergies in remission even after you stop.

  • What it is: Needle-free at-home immunotherapy (SLIT)
  • Best for: Seasonal, environmental, and certain food allergies; needle-averse patients and kids
  • Time to relief: Usually 4 to 6 months (about 2 bottles)
  • Convenience: Taken at home, fewer office visits than shots
  • Insurance: Not covered (off-label); affordable cash-pay options available

What Are Sublingual Allergy Drops?

Sublingual allergy drops are an immunotherapy used worldwide to treat allergies by placing purified allergen extract under the tongue. Our CureSLIT version follows protocols developed over years of research by allergists in the US and Europe, and it treats asthma, sinus issues, seasonal allergies, rhinitis, animal allergies, dust and mold allergies, and eczema.

CureSLIT uses the same extracts we would use in allergy shots, but in a needle-free format you take at home. It can put your allergies into remission, so even when the drops are stopped, the allergy stays gone.

CureSLIT is not currently covered by insurance, so we offer inexpensive cash-pay options.

How Do Sublingual Drops Work?

You place a few drops of purified protein extract under your tongue several times a day, gradually building tolerance to your allergens. Relief is usually felt within 4 to 6 months (about 2 bottles' worth), sometimes sooner or later depending on how many allergies you have.

Because the drops are safe for home use, CureSLIT offers a convenient, needle-free alternative to allergy shots while using the same proven extracts.

What Sublingual Drops Treat & Who They're For

Sublingual drops treat both food and environmental allergies and are an excellent fit for patients who prefer to avoid needles, including children. They can also help decrease the risk of life-threatening reactions related to food.

Drops can treat allergies caused by:

  • Dust mites
  • Ragweed
  • Trees
  • Grass

They are also used for asthma, sinus issues, seasonal allergies, rhinitis, animal allergies, mold, and eczema.

What to Expect & How Long You'll Take Drops

How long you take sublingual drops depends on whether your allergens are seasonal or year-round. Your provider tailors the schedule to your triggers.

  • Daily, a few days a week, or seasonally, depending on your allergies.
  • For seasonal allergies (hay fever): start the drops 3 to 4 months before allergy season begins, then continue until it ends.
  • For year-round allergens (like dust mites): you may take the drops throughout the year.

You take the drops a few times a day, which allows for quicker relief and more lasting results.

What Makes CureSLIT Unique (and How It Compares to Shots)

CureSLIT is a customized, multi-allergen sublingual protocol designed to reach long-term remission, not just temporary relief. What sets it apart:

  1. 1 Our testing method lets us customize the strength to you, not too strong and not too weak.
  2. 2 Dosing several times a day allows quick relief and more permanent results.
  3. 3 Dosing lets several allergens fit into the same bottle, so we do not treat one allergy at a time.
  4. 4 We use top-of-the-line sterile extracts safe enough for injection.
  5. 5 We use a titrated-up dosing protocol to reach long-term remission.
  6. 6 We use cross-reactive proteins to teach tolerance across related weeds, trees, and grasses and help prevent new allergies from developing.

Patient Experiences About Life Without Allergies

EXCELLENT Based on 315 Google reviews

Dr. Imam is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He's incredibly intelligent, kind, caring, and has great bedside manner. He loves what he does and it shows — he is always up to date with the ever evolving nature of medicine and is always looking for ways to improve how he cares for his patients. As a physician myself this is exactly who I look for to take care of myself and my family. I cannot recommend him enough.

From the moment I searched and found Cure Allergy in Mansfield, I was impressed. Dr. Osman is truly an exceptional doctor! He made me feel incredibly comfortable, listened carefully to all of my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. He took the time to explain everything clearly and created a care plan that actually works. After years of chronic coughing and trouble swallowing, he gave me answers NO other doctor or specialist could.
