Pharmacokinetics of an allergen and a monomeric allergoid for oromucosal immunotherapy in allergic volunteers

The results showed a similar behaviour of the allergoid and the allergen in tablets as far as their local kinetics are concerned, whereas plasma peak was higher with the allergoid than with the allergen. Therefore we conclude that the chemical modification of the allergen may affect its pharmacokinetics, by making it less susceptible to enzymatic degradation.
