Re: Launch HN: Wyndly (YC W21) – Allergy relief through at-home oral drops
#62How are oral doses tailored for regional pollen allergies? For example, the US Northwest flora is different from the Tennessee Valley flora.
Each patient’s allergy drops are prescribed individually by their physician based on their symptom history, allergy test results, and region. So yes, the northwest patients typically are treated for different pollens than those in Tennessee valley, however, it is usually even more specific than that: one patient in the same region will likely have different sensitivities and thus a different prescription than another…
Ah... thanks for the answer. I also did not know that the physician has to prescribe the plan. Makes sense now.

Re: Launch HN: Wyndly (YC W21) – Allergy relief through at-home oral drops
#64As a life long sufferer of cold/flue (once every 3 months bout lasting for over a week), I tried various natural things on myself. I probably have found solution that works for me. Allergy/cold free from 2015-6 ( go only when I deliberately tried to get it to find out if it works) and worked during 2020 too. Even worked for my family too. I even wrote to CDC director about it (but no response). How does one go about does one go about finding efficacy on others? I'm into software so have no clue. tia.

#65I'm so dependent on Singulair and Zyrtec daily but it's so hard to get actual allergy treatment. I'm so excited to hear about this treatment because even with great insurance in the USA the doctor experience has been abysmal. How can I get started?

We only serve the United States right now. If you search around Canada for a "sublingual immunotherapy allergist" you might find a physician doing this in Canada.

The fastest way to get started is to share your allergy history for one of our physicians to review: https://form.jotform.com/210268541588057

#68I would recommend toning back some of the emotional language in your treatment comparison table -- things like "confusing terminology", "Busy staff with no time to help", and "Unhelpful Google searches". Your value prop of convenience of no shots is super obvious to me but the biased comparison table is a turn-off. It would give me a lot more confidence if the language in the table were more scientific and clinical.…
Good marketing is emotional. Thr target audience probably has very little overlap with the HN audience.
Yeah, I was gonna say that I actually quite like a lot of the copy; it speaks to a consumer's specific problems and feelings, which is, like, marketing 101.

#69Congratulations Aakash and Manan on your launch! Talk about addressing an actual, physical pain point. Best of luck unstuffing the nation. A few questions: 1) How many months treatment time is necessary to see recognizable results? 2) How soon after starting Wyndly treatment can users stop using antihistamines such as anti-histamine pills and inhalers? 3) Generally how long must treatment be maintained before it can be stopped, and how long will the results last? A European poster in this thread mentioned his dust mite allergy requires 3 years of drops before they can be stopped for 3 years, after which the treatment must be repeated.

Thank you!
Patients see improvement in symptoms after 6 months, with some patients reporting improvement as soon as 6 weeks. For most patients, this means they can stop taking their antihistamines.
You mentioned inhalers. While there has been connection between allergy immunotherapy and asthma, allergy immunotherapy is not a replacement for your asthma inhaler.
If a patient stays on drops for 5 years, they can expect decades of allergy relief after they stop the drops. If the patient stops taking their allergy drops earlier, they will still see a reduction of their allergy symptoms, but it won't last for decades -- it may only last a few months, depending on how long they took the drops.
I just saw the European poster. I don't have the details of his treatment, so I can't address why they had to repeat their treatment. For our patients, the goal is lifelong allergy relief as easily as possible. We don't want you to have to repeat your treatment. If you never talk to us after your treatment, that means we did something right.
