Find Lasting Relief with Aspirin Desensitization
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a chronic condition in which individuals develop severe respiratory symptoms—such as asthma flare-ups, nasal congestion, or sinus inflammation—after taking aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). For patients with AERD, aspirin desensitization provides a safe and carefully monitored way to reintroduce aspirin into the body, helping to improve asthma control and reduce sinus-related symptoms.
The desensitization process is conducted under the supervision of a board-certified allergist and involves administering gradually increasing doses of aspirin in a controlled medical setting. Over time, this approach helps the body develop tolerance to aspirin, minimizing adverse reactions. Aspirin desensitization is particularly beneficial for individuals who cannot tolerate aspirin but may need it for its anti-inflammatory benefits or for managing chronic conditions such as asthma, nasal polyps, sinusitis, or persistent pain..

Aspirin desensitization is performed under the close supervision of a board-certified allergist and involves the gradual introduction of small, precisely measured doses of aspirin. Over time, this method helps the body adjust to the medication, reducing sensitivity and preventing allergic or respiratory reactions.
This medically guided treatment provides a safe and effective way for individuals with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) to tolerate aspirin once again. Through desensitization, patients often experience better management of asthma and sinus symptoms, decreased reliance on other medications, and an overall improvement in quality of life.
Aspirin Desensitization: An Effective Treatment for Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD)
Aspirin desensitization is a carefully supervised medical process in which a trained allergist administers gradually increasing, controlled doses of aspirin. Over time, this approach helps the immune system become less sensitive to the medication, reducing or even preventing the adverse reactions that typically occur when aspirin is taken.
