Asthma drug aids simultaneous desensitization to several food allergies, study finds

An asthma drug accelerates the process of desensitizing patients with food allergies to several foods at the same time, a new study shows. The findings come on the heels of a recent study by the same team showing that people with multiple food allergies can be desensitized to several foods at once. The two studies, both phase-1 safety trials, provide the first scientific evidence that a promising new method for treating people for multiple food allergies works.
