Antivenom

Antivenoms act as antidotes for venomous bites and stings from any kind of animal. They are given intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the case. Antivenom neutralizes the venom to prevent further damage but does not reverse damage already done, so it must be given as soon as possible after a bite or sting.

Allergy Consultations

Follow-up visits for diagnosed allergies, rhinitis, asthma, eczema, hives, immunodeficiencies and immune disorders, or a first visit for patients who need to find out what is causing their symptoms.

Immunomodulators

An immunomodulator is a substance that changes the immune system's ability to work effectively, such as producing antibodies, recognizing antigens or releasing inflammatory mediators.

Allergy Skin Tests

Diagnoses environmental and food allergies

Our highly trained staff perform skin tests to identify what is causing your allergic reactions. Different allergens are applied to the skin to see which ones you react to.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Once a condition is identified, a diagnosis and treatment plan are needed to follow the disease toward recovery, or to keep it under control in chronic conditions such as asthma.

Autovaccines

This therapy uses a preparation made from the patient's own blood. Its main goal is to strengthen the immune system by activating the body's natural protective and healing mechanisms.

Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy)

To help you better control your allergies, we have the equipment to administer allergy shots that help prevent future reactions. These shots are part of a treatment followed over a period of time (in some cases 3 to 5 years) and can help reduce your allergy symptoms.

Transfer Factor

Immune transfer factors are mainly used to strengthen the immune system. They are an innovative option for managing and treating allergies, using tiny molecules that pass information to the body's cells to “train” them to respond against the agents that cause allergies.

Bacterial Vaccines

Another form of immunization our allergy specialists use is a suspension of bacteria selected according to each patient's diagnosis. It stimulates the production of immunoglobulins G and M and activates lymphocytes.
