Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a condition where individuals experience severe respiratory reactions, such as asthma attacks and sinus inflammation, when taking aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). For those with AERD, aspirin desensitization offers a controlled, safe method to gradually reintroduce aspirin into their system, improving the management of asthma and sinus symptoms.
This process involves carefully administering small doses of aspirin under the supervision of a trained allergist, allowing the body to become less sensitive to the drug over time. Aspirin desensitization is ideal for patients who have previously been unable to tolerate aspirin but may benefit from its anti-inflammatory effects for conditions like asthma, chronic sinusitis, or pain management.

Aspirin desensitization, performed under the supervision of a skilled allergist, involves gradually introducing small, controlled doses of aspirin. Over time, this process can reduce the body's sensitivity to aspirin, allowing individuals to safely take the medication without triggering allergic reactions.
Aspirin desensitization is a reliable, medically supervised approach that can provide lasting relief for individuals with AERD. By safely reintroducing aspirin into their regimen, patients can regain better control of their respiratory symptoms, reduce dependency on other medications, and improve their overall well-being.
