Help patients with asthma keep their symptoms controlled this fall
Use results from a convenient blood test in your treatment plan
ImmunoCAP™ Specific IgE Blood Testing I Test now I A tool to equip patients to control inflammation
General practitioners and pediatricians know best that patients with asthma are fine until they aren’t. This fall, learn if inflammation from allergic sensitizations for patients with a history of wheeze, cough, chest tightness or shortness of breath is part of the problem. ImmunoCAP Specific IgE blood tests can help. 1
Learn how to order ImmunoCAP testing, get interpretation support and connect to educational resources.
Recommendations from leading experts
Leading experts in allergy and asthma agree that evaluation of allergic sensitization in primary care could play a key role to improve patient outcomes with the use of specific IgE blood testing.2
Using the test results from specific IgE blood testing, like ImmunoCAP™ Specific IgE testing, to create individually tailored environmental control measures has been shown to reduce asthma symptoms and exacerbations.3 Read the expert's opinion.
How will test results change patient management?
Even negative specific IgE test results are useful in developing personalized treatment plans and getting a full picture. They can spare patients the inconvenience of attempts at avoiding allergens to which they are not sensitized, of taking medications that are ineffective (e.g. antihistamines), and spending money unnecessarily.2
Positive allergy test results can guide clinical precision medicine for chronic airway disease in individual patients. They also can be considered as one of the referral criteria for specialist care.2
Identifying and managing allergic triggers empowers your patients to reduce exposure to allergens and may reduce medication use.4
A valuable tool in primary care2
Once you or your colleagues identified an allergic child, we have to help the parents with an important question: "How to Reduce Exposure of My kid to Allergic Triggers?"
Please find a standardised advisory plan, that clinician can share with the parents.
