Apparently you put many droppers of the medication on your tongue each day, and it's supposed to relieve the allergy symptoms as well as create long term resistence to the allergen.

I take it back.  I looked it up, and it's homeopathic, so it doesn't
actually "contain" any molecules of the things it says it contains.
In that case, it should be safe to try.  I don't believe in
homeopathy, so I doubt it would do any good, but what the heck, it may
be worth a try.
