Is there an approved method of treating cat allergies that doesn't involve pseudoefedrin or weekly shots, please?

Pam - Well, you can be de-sensitised to cats, but it doesn’t work very well. We do sometimes see this for vets or people where it’s very important to absolutely get it under control, but the standard treatment which is the first line and usually works very well is a nasal spray, eye drops, and non-sedative antihistamine. So there's a very good treatment that will work.
