Merck claims that the new tablet will reduce allergy symptoms over time, rather than just alleviate them temporarily, as current allergy drugs do.<\/p>\n<p>According to Merck, a consumer would take the tablet daily throughout the peak allergy season for a period of three years. The idea is to gradually desensitize the consumer\u2019s immune system to the substance that triggers allergic reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Top allergists say that Merck\u2019s new immunotherapy tablet is a major advance over existing allergy treatments. These tablets, also being developed for other allergies, could prove to be a significant scientific breakthrough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The only currently known side effects to the tablet are itchiness of the mouth and ear, and throat\u00a0irritation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you or someone you love recently suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-personal-injury-information-lawyers-attorneys.php\">personal injury<\/a>, or has a loved one suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-wrongful-death.php\">wrongful death<\/a>, due to a Massachusetts medication mistake?
