  A general practice in Germany.
  
  
  METHODS
  35 patients with pollenosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
