Sublingual or subcutaneous immunotherapy specifically targeting house dust mite allergy, the most common indoor allergen worldwide. China has developed its own NMPA-approved sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) drops for dust mite desensitization, making this disease-modifying treatment highly affordable. Treatment reprograms the immune system to tolerate dust mite allergens, reducing allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms long-term.
