Last night on one of the network news broadcasts (I forget which), there was a piece on a new treatment for allergies. It involves taking injections once a month to block allergic reactions. While it is still under development, the reporter said that the drug is very effective, quick acting, and that there are no apparent side effects. The reporter said that the developers expect the drug to be available within three years.

I know that there has been some discussion of this drug or a similar one on this thread in the past. I recall that its potential was downplayed because it requires taking injections and for other technical reasons that I don't understand. However, the news piece last night sounded much more positive. My question is how much of a threat is there that this drug (or some other anti-allergy research, for that matter) will make several of the "improved" antihistimine drugs that Sepracor is working on obsolete?
