Betula nigra pollen extract

Betula nigra pollen extract is a non-standardized biologic allergenic extract derived from the pollen of the river birch tree (Betula nigra). [5] It is indicated for both the diagnosis (via skin testing) and treatment (via immunotherapy) of individuals with immediate hypersensitivity allergies to river birch pollen. [3] The product works through allergen-specific immunotherapy, a process that desensitizes the patient's immune system to the specific pollen allergens by administering gradually increasing doses of the extract, which can reduce or eliminate allergic symptoms. [1, 3] This treatment is typically administered via percutaneous, subcutaneous, or intradermal injection. It is marketed by several companies, including Allergy Laboratories, Inc. under the brand name River Birch Pollen.
