Abstract:
This study was designed to determine the level of satisfaction, tolerance and perceived effectiveness by patients in the first pollen season after starting treatment with Alergovit(®). For this purpose, a nationwide, retrospective, multicentre and cross-sectional observational study was carried on 256 patients. Perceived effectiveness by the patients was measured using a visual analogue scale and was clinically significant in 92.4% of the patients. The satisfaction level was evaluated with a specific questionnaire. 32.5% of the patients were totally satisfied with Allergovit(®) and 48.8% reported a high degree of satisfaction. The treatment was well tolerated by 99.2% of the patients. Our results demonstrate that subcutaneous immunotherapy with Allergovit(®) is effective and well-tolerated in routine clinical practice.
