> $99/month is a bit expensive

$99/mnth for possibly 5 yrs is a helluva commitment. Most people are going to have difficulty with both the cost and time IMHO.



Before starting SLIT I was unable to spend more than an hour outside in the spring before I turned into a disgusting mess (this is with daily OTC pills). Now I can go play with my kids all day in the sun. $99/mo is well, well worth it.

I looked at the alternative (shots), but that’s multiple visits per week to the clinic, with 1 hour observation time after each shot. Drops are so much more convenient.


Pre-Covid the cost of just getting my “specific doses” of the compounds I needed was $850 with insurance. Regulations changed apparently and they couldn’t reuse the same combo of like pollen, cat/dog etc so each client needs a “custom” formulated dosage.

Add in the $10 doctor visit co-pay 2x / week when getting the shot, that’s $80/month already.

So $960 + 850 is $1910, so I’d save $710 using these drops instead of the shots.
