The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, specifically to an allergen obstructing agent for the respiratory tract. The allergen obstructing agent comprises, by weight, 65 to 85% of white oil, 5 to 25% of Vaseline, 5 to 25% of paraffin and 5 to 25% of microcrystalline wax. A preparation method for the allergen obstructing agent comprises the following steps: mixing all the above-mentioned components; heating the obtained mixture to 60 to 120 DEG C and carrying out stirring at the same time; and carrying out cooling after full mixing so as to obtain the finished allergen obstructing agent. According to embodiments in the invention, the allergen obstructing agent can form a protection film with strong adhesion in the nasal cavity to obstruct immediate allergy induced by inhalation allergen and mitigates symptoms of inhalation allergy, thereby achieving a curative effect on prevention of immediate allergy.

A composition comprising specific Lactobacillus helveticus strains is provided for reducing the symptoms of allergies originating from food, respiratory or contact allergens. Preferably the composition reduces symptoms of allergies (secondary prevention) while also able to reduce sensitization (primary prevention).

The invention provides a chewable gel dosage form that contains at least one active agent and a method of administering such chewable gel dosage form to subjects to treat one or more indications associated with the active agent(s). In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for the temporary relief of symptoms to due hay fever and upper respiratory allergies comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a chewable gel dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of loratadine and a gelling agent, wherein therapeutic efficacy is achieved under fasted or fed conditions.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preventing allergy in a subject. Particularly, the present invention relates to epicutaneous prevention of allergies in children. The invention also relates to compositions for use in such methods, as well as their manufacture. The invention may be used to cause protection against any allergy, particularly food or respiratory allergies.

The invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing traditional Chinese medicinal active components baicalin, icariin and astragaloside IV for preventing and treating respiratory anaphylactic disease. The invention determines the dose range of the traditional Chinese medicinal active components for inhibiting splenic lymphopoiesis of sensitized mice; and proven by further experiments in vitro, compared with single use of baicalin, icariin and astragaloside IV, the pharmaceutical composition provided by the invention has a stronger effect on inhibiting the splenic lymphopoiesis of sensitized mice, and a stronger effect on regulating Th cell differentiation and transformation of corresponding cell factors into the normalstate. The pharmaceutical composition provided by the invention can be used for further preparing a target organ protecting medicament, and preparing a monomer small compound medicament for improvingthe body immunity and preventing and treating respiratory anaphylactic disease.

The invention discloses an external-applied medicine capable of alleviating respiratory tract allergy. Ointment is prepared by grinding rhizoma coptidis, asarum, frankincense, borneol and wild aconite roots into powder, and mixing the power with monoglyceride. The ointment has a powerful anaesthetization osmosis effect, and can effectively alleviate discomfort symptoms caused by allergy.

The invention refers to pharmaceutical compositions based on oil extracted from the seeds of Carapa Guianensis Aublet and/or of chemical compounds isolated from this oil and responsible for its biological activity, the tetranortriterpenoids, presenting the following pharmacological activities: anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and immune modulating with reduced side effects and low cost.

The present invention discloses the detection of an important 12K-Da protein having cross-reactivity amongst different prevalent allergenic grasses and fungi can be useful for detection of respiratory allergies. Conventionally, the whole extracts that are used for diagnosis are unable to specifically detect the causative agents. In addition, they are also responsible for additional non-specific sensitivities in patients to other components present in the extract. If a single cross-reactive protein is available, it can replace large number of extracts used for detection of raised IgE levels in allergy by ELISA, immunoblotting and the likes. Further, number of pricks would be reduced and this would benefit both patient and clinicians. It is further realized that production of such a protein by recombinant methods can lead to its availability in pure form and bulk amounts required for routine diagnosis.
