Sorghum halepense pollen

Sorghum halepense pollen is an allergenic extract derived from Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) pollen. [3] It is used for both allergy testing (diagnosis) and allergen-specific immunotherapy (hyposensitization therapy) to treat patients with allergic reactions to this specific pollen. [1, 17] Developed and marketed by ALK-Abelló, Inc., this non-standardized extract has been available since 1965. It is administered as a subcutaneous injection solution. [6] The product works by modulating the immune system to induce desensitization to the allergens present in Sorghum halepense pollen. [1] It is indicated for individuals with a confirmed clinical sensitivity to Johnson grass pollen, as determined by patient history and diagnostic skin testing, who suffer from conditions like allergic respiratory diseases.
