A general practice in Germany.


METHODS
35 patients with pollenosis.

Objective and subjective symptoms of acute pollenosis.


RESULTS
During an average treatment period of 61 days it was found that 28 of 35 patients experienced an improvement in pollenosis symptoms. The medication was well tolerated thought patients preserved oral to subcutaneous administration.
