Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions related to allergy shots:

1. Am I a candidate for allergy shots?
   
   
2. What risks do I face by undergoing immunotherapy?
   
   
3. What will happen if I experience anaphylaxis after receiving an allergy shot?
   
   
4. Will I experience pain while receiving the allergy shots?
   
   
5. What are the odds that the treatment will fail to relieve my condition?
   
   
6. How often will I need to receive allergy shots? How long will the treatment continue?
   
   
7. Will the desensitization I experience from allergy shots be permanent?
   
   
8. Are there any precautions I should take before undergoing immunotherapy?
   
   
9. What will happen if I begin to experience symptoms again after a long period of being symptom-free?
   
   
10. Will I have to cease treatment if I become pregnant?
