The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that it has approved the first tablet in the U.S. for gradually reducing hay fever symptoms, an alternative to months of weekly doctor visits for uncomfortable allergy-desensitizing shots.

Oralair was approved for patients ages 10 through 65. It's made by France's Stallergenes SA, a leader in immunotherapy medicines that dissolve under the tongue.

Sanctioned for people aged 10 to 65, Oralair is designed to be started four months before the allergy season begins. The first dose should be given at a doctor's office, where the user can be observed for any serious reactions. After that, the product can be taken at home, the FDA said.
