The investigational medication is a specific allergen vaccine containing
the ragweed allergen extract in a tablet form that dissolves quickly
under the tongue. As a tablet, it may become a useful and safe treatment
that is easy to take and may help reduce the symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis
and reduce the chance of severe side effects. |
