Ragweed, pigweed, tumbleweed, grasses and mold. These are only some of the allergens that will ruin many people's summer this year. It's been a tough battle for allergy suffers from the west to the east coast for a number of reasons. For example, many areas of the U.S. fought through a particularly cold, snowy winter which caused spring to stall. As a result, the pollen season has become condensed.
People are currently turning to a number of proposed solutions to cure their runny noses, watery eyes and headaches brought on by allergies. Medicines such as nasal sprays and pills are a likely and practical first choice. However, for those who turn first to science, they won't be happy to hear this news.
According to new research, oral tablets for grass allergies don't work as well as you may have thought they did. "The reported benefit is very small on average. This means that some patients will respond, but the majority will not…" said the report's lead author Dr. Danilo Di Bona.
For the study, researchers examined 13 randomized controlled trials. These trials compared tablets that you place and melt under your tongue with placebo pills. They then measured allergy symptoms of more than 4,000 patients. They found that six of the 13 trials did not demonstrate significant improvement in allergy relief compared to that of the placebo group.
Because this type of allergy medication is still misunderstood and not fully tested, people need to seek alternatives. Think about managing allergies by defending your home against them. Purchase proper air conditioners, dehumidifiers and vacuum cleaners to reduce allergens.
