The present invention relates to IgE epitope-like peptides which have ability to bind to allergen specific IgE paratopes. Said allergen specific IgEs are bound to effector cells of allergic patients. The IgE epitope-like peptides of the invention cover the paratopes of said IgE bound on effector cells, prevent biding of causative allergen on said IgE on effector cells, and thereby prevent degranulation and secretion of mediators of allergic inflammation from effector cells, after contact with the causative allergen. The present invention relates to the methods of using such IgE epitope-like peptides for therapy of allergic reaction. Said allergic reaction is caused by exposure to the causative allergen.
