Start early. Stay ahead of the season.
If you get sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion each spring, birch may be the cause. Birch allergy drops work by slowly training your immune system to react less to birch pollen, which can mean fewer symptoms over time.
It may seem early, but testing now secures your drops so you can start treatment before pollen spikes. Same-day appointments may be available, so you can get started right away. Call TVC Allergy and Asthma at (907) 458-2635.
