ALLERGY TREATMENT DRUGS MARKET ANALYSIS

An allergy is a medical condition where the immune system reacts abnormally when exposed to certain foreign substances. These allergy-producing substances are known as allergens. Allergens can be dust particles, mites, molds, pollens, animal proteins, foods, and medications.

Allergies can be perennial or seasonal. Perennial allergies occur due to specific allergens that cause an allergic reaction throughout the year. Allergens responsible for perennial allergies include pet hair or dander, food, and medication. Seasonal allergies occur due to weather changes that allow growth of mold, insect or grass. Seasonal allergies are caused by airborne allergens such as pollens and ragweed. Symptoms of allergic reactions include itching, runny & blocked nose, watery eyes, wheezing, shortness of breath, swelling in lips, eyes or face, sneezing, and others.
