Certain parts of the UK are particularly affected by pollens and allergens likely to give severe symptoms, with the most likely culprits being a mixture of flower and tree pollen such as silver birch and rapeseed.

If you have severe symptoms that fail to respond to other treatments, such as oral antihistamine medications, topical eye drops and so on then book in for a consultation with our expert pharmacist Shikha.

What is the Hayfever Jab?

The Hayfever Injection is a corticosteroid injection which has anti-inflammatory properties. It suppresses the immune system and stops the natural pollen response from going ‘haywire’. This is the same medication given by doctors regularly for tennis elbow, various ligament and muscular strains, osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.

Should I have the Hay fever Injection?

We recommend people come in and have a Hayfever Injection in our Canford Cliffs, Bournemouth or Totton clinic if they:

• Suffer from severe hay fever symptoms such as watery/itchy/red eyes, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose.

• Anti-histamine tablets, eye drops and nose sprays are not helping your symptoms or only give limited relief.

• Want to gain back your lifestyle and put an end to the disruption of your daily life and work.

This injection is no longer available on the NHS, the private Hayfever Injection (Kenalog 40mg) can provide patients with seasonal relief at private clinics.

How quickly does it start to work?

You can start to see results anywhere from 1 to 72 hours. However, it can take up to 10 days.

How long does it last for?

The Hayfever Injection is not a cure, but seeks to minimise symptoms and provide seasonal relief typically for 1-6 months.

How much does it cost?

A Hayfever Injection costs just £80.
