You Can Take ORALAIR®
At Home

ORALAIR is an allergy immunotherapy treatment you can take at home as directed by your physician. Your first dose of ORALAIR is taken in the allergy specialist’s office, where you will be observed for possible side effects. If you have no serious reactions to your first dose of ORALAIR, you will be able to take your grass allergy treatment daily at home, starting about 4 months before the grass allergy season begins and continuing throughout the season. It is important to continue taking ORALAIR before the grass allergy season starts even though you may not yet be experiencing symptoms.

For home administration of ORALAIR, your doctor should prescribe auto-injectable epinephrine for you to keep at home for treating a severe reaction, should one occur. Your doctor will train and instruct you on the proper use of auto-injectable epinephrine.

ORALAIR can cause severe allergic reactions that may be life-threatening. Symptoms of allergic reactions to ORALAIR include:

  • Trouble breathing
  • Throat tightness or swelling
  • Trouble swallowing or speaking
  • Dizziness or fainting
  • Rapid or weak heartbeat
  • Severe stomach cramps or pain, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Severe flushing or itching of the skin

If any of these symptoms occur, stop taking ORALAIR and immediately seek medical care.
