What is Rush Immunotherapy? Updated Rush Immunotherapy Reviews

A speeded-up version, "rush immunotherapy," is performed when a person suddenly needs protection from an anticipated exposure and does not have time for gradual desensitization.

Because of increased risks of a reaction, the patient is hospi­talized for constant monitoring, and literally rushed through the first phases. Instead of daily or weekly shots, steadily stronger doses of extract are given every one to two hours for a period of five to ten days. Once the maintenance dose is reached, the pa­tient goes on a schedule similar to conventional treatment.

WARNING: This is still an experimental therapy.
