Allergenic Extract-Peanut

Rather than representing an independent therapeutic class, "Allergenic Extract-Peanut" refers to biological preparations derived from peanut (*Arachis hypogaea*) proteins that fall under the established pharmacologic class of allergenic extracts

In diagnostic contexts, non-standardized extracts are used in percutaneous skin testing to confirm IgE-mediated peanut hypersensitivity

In therapeutic applications, standardized oral formulations function as allergen immunotherapies to induce immune desensitization, raising the reaction threshold and reducing the severity of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, following accidental exposure
