How to take GRAZAX® immunotherapy tablet

GRAZAX is a fast dissolving allergy immunotherapy tablet (AIT) that is placed under the tongue. 

Make sure that you are suffering from grass pollen allergy

Never start treatment without consulting your doctor first to find out if you are suffering from grass pollen allergy and to make sure that GRAZAX is the right medication for your allergic reactions. Always take GRAZAX® tablet exactly as your doctor has told you and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

You are advised to take the first oral lyophilisate under medical supervision. This gives you the opportunity to discuss possible side effects with the doctor.

Start medication before the grass pollen season

The usual dose is one oral lyophilisate daily. To get the best effect start taking the oral lyophilisates 4 months prior to the expected start of the grass pollen season and continue throughout the pollen season.

GRAZAX® is an oral lyophilisate. Take the oral lyophilisates like this:


1. Make sure your hands are dry before handling the GRAZAX® tablet

 
2. Tear off the strip marked with triangles at the top of the oral lyophilisate pack


3. Tear a square off the oral lyophilisate pack along the perforated lines.


4. Do not force the oral lyophilisate through the foil. It may damage the oral lyophilisate as it easily breaks. Instead, fold back the marked corner of the foil and then pull it off


5. Remove the oral lyophilisate carefully from the foil and take the oral lyophilisate immediately


6. Place the oral lyophilisate under the tongue. Allow it to remain there for a few seconds until it has dissolved. Do not swallow during the first minute. Do not eat or drink for at least 5 minutes
