Valleant has released a new guide covering how allergies affect the body, providing expert insight into the immunological response.
-- Valleant has published an in-depth guide breaking down allergies and relevant topics, such as immune response, types of allergic reactions, diagnosis and management, and more. The scope of the article is comprehensive but written for a non-technical audience.

The guide explains that allergies trigger an immune response to substances that are usually harmless, and the symptoms can range from mild to severe, and even life-threatening in some cases.
The most common allergies fall into several categories, according to Valleant's research. The first category includes environmental triggers like pollen, dust, and mold, which affect millions each year. Another category is food allergies, while a third involves reactions to substances that come into direct contact with the skin.
"When someone with allergies encounters their specific allergen, the immune system perceives it as a threat, leading to different symptoms and reactions that can affect their health and daily activities," the author states.
While many people experience respiratory symptoms like stuffy noses and itchy eyes, others break out in rashes or experience swelling. The guide points out that, in severe cases, dangerous complications can develop, including throat swelling or a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Valleant's article touches upon tests, such as skin prick tests, that can pinpoint problem substances in just 15-20 minutes by observing tell-tale reactions on the skin. For a deeper look, doctors often turn to blood tests that measure Immunoglobulin E antibodies.
Furthermore, the article walks readers through over-the-counter options that most people try first when dealing with allergies, such as antihistamines and decongestants, which help manage common problems like itchy eyes and sneezing.
The guide's final section focuses on a key topic: what to do when allergies become emergencies. Getting epinephrine quickly into someone experiencing anaphylaxis can mean the difference between life and death. For people at risk of severe reactions, the author stresses the importance of having a clear emergency plan and keeping the right medications within immediate reach.
In addition to managing allergies, Valleant's guide fits into the company's broader goal of helping people live longer, healthier lives through science-backed health information. The guide connects allergy care with overall health, giving readers practical ways to stay healthy at every age.
