If you have a milk allergy what form of birth control can you use?

Your doctor should have a book of medicine with their inactive ingredients. have them look in the book to find the pills with the lowest amount of lactose (if your allergy isn't severe)... they should look for lactose to be one of the last ingredients listed. If it's one of the first ingredients then there is a higher amount in the pill and this will cause problems. I don't have a severe allergy if I have little doses of milk, but in large, daily doses I have trouble. So you have to consider your own personal reactions, otherwise you will have to avoid most pills in general, not just birth control, because most of them have milk as a filler.

How do allergy shots work to cure allergies?

Allergies are how your body's immune system responds to certain substances (allergens). When the immune system encounters a foreign substance (allergen) that it thinks could cause bodily harm, it wages war to fight the invasion. As a by-product of the response, your body releases histamine (a chemical) that causes common allergic symptoms (runny nose, itchy eyes, hives, chest tightness, etc.). In more severe cases, this allergic reaction can involve the throat, chest, and heart (anaphylaxis).

Allergy shots work to decrease your body's sensitivity to these allergens. By slowly increasing your exposure to the foreign substance (in very small amounts), the idea is to re-train your body against reacting to it. Many people experience relief from allergy shots for their seasonal allergies (dust, molds, etc.).

It's best to contact your primary care physician and/or allergist if you have more questions about specific allergies.
