Introduction> Spring pre-season timing for grass tablets (Jan–May)
- To maximize benefit, start FDA‑approved grass tablets about 8–12 weeks before your local grass season begins. Many states see grass peaks in May–June (e.g., North Carolina peaks in May, Ohio in June, Oregon in June). See your state’s timing: Allergy season by state, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon.
- Not sure when grass starts near you? Check local counts: Pollen data, and ask your Wyndly doctor for a state‑specific start date.
- First dose of tablets may be supervised per physician guidance; daily dosing continues at home. If you have multiple allergens (e.g., grasses plus trees/weeds/pets/dust), ask about custom SLIT drops. Grass pollen is one of the most common environmental allergy triggers in the U.S. Wyndly delivers physician-led, at‑home care to fix grass pollen allergies at their source using sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) — either FDA‑approved grass tablets (e.g., Grastek) or personalized allergy drops — with 24/7 access to doctors. See how our process works, who’s eligible, safety and first‑dose guidance, timelines, and cost.

Tablets vs. drops for grass pollen
Wyndly physicians prescribe either FDA‑approved tablets (for specific allergens) or multi‑allergen custom drops, based on your allergy profile and preferences.
| Option | What it treats | Where you take it | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FDA‑approved SLIT tablet (e.g., grass tablet such as Grastek) | A single allergen (certain grasses) | At home (see first‑dose note below) | Standardized dose; daily tablet under the tongue. Glossary: Grastek. |
| Custom SLIT drops | Multiple allergens at once (e.g., several grasses ± trees, weeds, pet, dust) | At home | Personalized mixture; daily drops under the tongue. Allergy drops explained. |
Both approaches are supported by major reviews and guidelines and have comparable efficacy to allergy shots with a more favorable safety profile and at‑home convenience. Evidence & guidelines.
