A new NHS-approved tablet may offer long-awaited relief to thousands of people living with severe dust mite allergies in England.
In a recent article published by the BBC, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) announced its recommendation of Acarizax, a once-daily tablet designed to treat moderate-to-severe house dust mite allergic rhinitis. The treatment is approved for people aged 12 to 65 and has been described by experts as "life-changing."
Why this matters
13,000 people in England could benefit from this new treatment.
Acarizax works by gradually building the body’s tolerance to dust mites — a form of allergen immunotherapy.
It’s particularly suitable for those who haven’t responded well to standard treatments like antihistamines or nasal sprays.
After an initial specialist consultation, patients can continue treatment at home, reducing the need for ongoing hospital visits.
Expert voices
Dr Helen Evans-Howells, a GP and allergy expert, noted that the evidence “clearly shows” the tablet is an effective solution for people who’ve struggled with severe symptoms like fatigue, congestion, and facial swelling.
Helen Knight from NICE highlighted how debilitating dust mite allergies can be, impacting people’s ability to work or attend school.
Amena Warner of Allergy UK welcomed the news, calling the treatment’s accessibility and effectiveness a major step forward.
This development reflects a broader shift toward home-based, personalised allergy care — one that empowers patients and reduces clinical burden. If you're affected by dust mite allergies, speak with your GP or allergy specialist to see if this treatment could be right for you.
