How does ShotFree Allergy work?

First, you will schedule an Online Appointment in order to discuss your allergy symptoms with an online provider and determine if you are a good candidate for Transdermal Allergy Immunotherapy. If you are, a prescription will be issued and the pharmacy will mail you your treatment. When starting treatment we recommend a few monthly visits to your Doctor as a standard safety protocol. If any Stay-At-Home order is in place you may sign a consent form to apply your first dose at home with another person present. You will then apply the cream at home three times per week. After that initial period of supervised application, you can continue to apply the cream at home. For the remainder of your treatment, we recommend an annual checkup with an online provider.
