Hay-fever Injection in London

What is a hay fever Injection?

Hay fever injection is a corticosteroid treatment, not a antihistamine. Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatory medications that help suppress the body’s immune response when it overreacts to allergens. They can be administered in various forms, including topical creams, oral tablets, or injections. The injection provides targeted relief from hay fever symptoms, reducing the need for daily antihistamine tablets or nasal sprays. It is also suitable for those whom oral antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops have failed.

Hay Fever Injection

Severe hay fever symptoms can significantly impact your summer, quality of life, and work performance. If symptoms persist despite treatments like oral antihistamine or eye drops, consider discussing the hay fever injection with your health care provider.

What is the hay fever injection and how does it work?

Hay fever injection is a corticosteroid administered intramuscularly into the buttock. It works by suppressing the immune system’s response to pollen, alleviating hay fever symptoms. Effects typically begin within 24 to 48 hours and can last from several weeks to months, depending on individual response.

Administrating the hay fever injection is performed exclusively by qualified medical professionals, such as doctors or nurse practitioners. Prior to the procedure, a comprehensive risk assessment is conducted to determine your suitable for the treatment. This process includes a detailed discussion of potential side effects and expected benefits to ensure you are well-informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.

The standard initial dose is typically 40mg-80mg, depending on the severity of symptoms. Individuals weighing over 80kg may require higher doses of the hay fever injection to effectively alleviate their symptoms. But the most effective relief is 1mg per Kg of the body weight.

Our medical Team will thoroughly review all available hay fever treatments and assess whether the potential benefits of the hay fever injection surpass any associated risks.

What People Say

Testimonials

Choose the best Hay-fever Injection London

We believe in patient choice and are happy to make this treatment available to people who have thoroughly considered the risks since Hayfever injections are still officially licensed for the treatment of severe hay fever in the UK and continues to be routinely administered to patients in most other countries around the world.

An hayfever injection does not cure hay fever but temporarily suppresses the immune system enough to take away the symptoms in most people who need it. Relief from symptoms commonly lasts the entire season.

Hay-fever Treatment Injection in London

At Pharma Aesthetics, we take pride in offering high-quality medical services and specialised treatments to meet the unique needs of our patients. Our trained healthcare professionals are experienced in administering the Hayfever Injection safely and effectively, ensuring optimal results for individuals suffering from hayfever.

The Hayfever Injection is a corticosteroid medication that contains triamcinolone acetonide, a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Administered via injection, this treatment targets the underlying cause of hayfever symptoms, providing rapid and long-lasting relief.

Hayfever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common condition characterized by sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. It occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. These allergens trigger an inflammatory response, leading to the bothersome symptoms experienced by hayfever sufferers.

Potential Benefits of getting Hay-fever Injection in London

A Hayfever injection helps many people with their symptoms of severe hay fever. For many, it completely relieves the symptoms for the entire season and for others it reduces the severity of the symptoms to a point where adding other treatments can allow life as normal.

Occasionally, a second dose may be needed in the same season. The doctor will discuss this with you. However, it is not recommended that anyone have more than 40mg (1 injection) per season except in exceptional circumstances.

IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, THE INJECTION MAY HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON SYMPTOMS.

Why take Hay-fever Injection from Pharma Aesthetics?

Hayfever Injections can cause unwanted side-effects, although these are rare at the dose levels that you get. The unique issue with the hayfever injection that differentiates it from oral steroids is that once the injection is administered, the side effects may last for at least 3 weeks. With tablets, the effects are gone within about 24 hours or less. This is the main reason NHS guidelines have identified route of administration of the steroid as a problem since there are occasions when the body needs its immune system at top strength and there are theoretical concerns that having it partially suppressed like this for up to 3 weeks could cause problems.

  • Anaphylactic reaction (very rare at this dose)
  • Skin itching, redness or a rash
  • Sticky black stool
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Vomiting blood
  • Increased risk of contarcting infections including COVID-19

The doctor will discuss further with you during the consultation and you can ask questions freely.
