Summary

This completed study tested whether a dissolved birch pollen allergy tablet (Itulazax) can be used as a nasal spray to confirm birch pollen allergy. 89 adults with birch pollen allergy received the spray and a placebo spray to see if it caused typical allergy symptoms like sneezing and stuffy nose. The goal is to find a replacement for an older test product that is no longer available.
