What is it?
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) gradually builds tolerance to a food allergen by giving small, slowly increasing doses. Sesame protein is compounded into capsules at precise doses so the allergist can follow a careful up-dosing schedule.
Prescriber-led preparation
Compounding is used when the prescription needs something different from a ready-made product.

What to know
Information to review with your prescriber or care team
These notes are educational and do not replace directions from your prescriber or the label on your prescription.
First dose is taken in clinic
The first dose of a new strength is taken in the clinic, not at home. Allergen immunotherapy carries a risk of allergic reaction, so each new dose level is started under medical supervision where a reaction can be treated immediately. Follow the allergist's plan exactly and never increase the dose on your own.
