Immunotherapy in Kolkata
Manipal Hospitals offers advanced Immunotherapy for allergy in Kolkata, designed to reduce allergic reactions and improve long-term immune tolerance. This treatment works by exposing patients to small doses of allergens, helping the immune system build resistance. It is highly effective for managing respiratory allergies, insect venom sensitivities, and certain environmental triggers. Immunotherapy is also used in certain cancer treatments, where specialised drugs help the immune system target and destroy abnormal cells.

How It Works
Immunotherapy, which is administered for allergy, is a structured and medically supervised treatment that aims to gradually desensitise the immune system to specific allergens. This long-term approach helps control persistent allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and insect venom allergies.
The allergist begins with a comprehensive consultation, reviewing the patient’s medical history, allergy symptoms, and prior test results. Diagnostic evaluations, including skin prick or blood tests, help identify the allergens responsible for the reaction. A personalised treatment plan is developed based on sensitivity levels and overall health.
During the treatment, controlled doses of the allergen are administered through subcutaneous injections or sublingual tablets. Dosages are carefully increased under continuous observation to encourage immune tolerance. Each session is monitored by specialists to ensure safety and minimise discomfort. Once the target dose is achieved, maintenance therapy continues at scheduled intervals. The allergist regularly assesses progress, adjusts dosages, and provides lifestyle advice for symptom management.
If the treatment is for cancer, Immunotherapy helps the immune system recognise and target cancer cells while reducing damage to healthy tissues. Patients receiving Immunotherapy cancer treatment in Kolkata undergo similar treatment steps with closer follow-ups to evaluate tumour response.
