Hayfever Relief
Hayfever and allergy symptoms, including allergic reaction responses, can affect day-to-day life more than many people expect. Sneezing, blocked or runny nose, itchy eyes, disturbed sleep, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating can all make the season harder to manage.
Your local pharmacy team offers a focused range of hayfever and allergy services to help you find relief and choose the most appropriate treatment for your symptoms.
Our hayfever support brings together a number of services that focus on seasonal allergy relief, allergic rhinitis treatment, allergic reaction management, and symptom control during periods of high pollen.
Choose one service or combine treatments for broader support. Book online, and we will guide you through the rest.
HAYFEVER INJECTION SERVICE CONSULTATION
If your symptoms are severe and other treatments have given limited relief, a hayfever injection consultation may be appropriate.
Designed for people with more disruptive seasonal symptoms, it involves a suitability assessment with a trained pharmacist before treatment is offered.
HAYFEVER TABLETS SERVICE CONSULTATION
If standard over-the-counter antihistamines are not giving enough relief, a consultation for fexofenadine may help.
Fexofenadine is a non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve hayfever symptoms such as sneezing, itchy or blocked nose, runny nose, and itchy, red, or watery eyes.
ALLERGIC RHINITIS TREATMENT CONSULTATION
Allergic rhinitis can cause ongoing cold-like symptoms such as sneezing, itchiness, a blocked nose, and excessive mucus.
Our pharmacy team can assess your symptoms and discuss treatment options, including nasal sprays and other medicines where appropriate.
HAYFEVER RELIEF TIPS
Start treatment early if your symptoms usually return at the same time each year.
Keep windows closed when pollen counts are high, especially early morning and evening. Wash pollen from your skin, hair, and clothes after spending time outdoors.
If symptoms are persistent or severe, speak to our pharmacist about combining treatments rather than relying on one option alone.

FAQs
Yes. In many cases, combining treatments can give better symptom relief than using one option alone. For example, tablets, nasal sprays, and eye drops may all play a role depending on your symptoms. We’ll advise you on the options and what is appropriate for you.
Hayfever is a common form of allergic rhinitis triggered by seasonal allergens such as pollen. Allergic rhinitis can also be caused by other allergens, including dust, mould, or animal dander.
Fexofenadine is generally classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine, although some people can still experience side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, or drowsiness.
A hayfever injection consultation may be considered when symptoms are severe and you are getting limited relief from standard options such as antihistamine tablets, eye drops, or nasal sprays. Suitability must always be assessed by a pharmacist.
This depends on the treatment. Some antihistamines begin helping quite quickly, while steroid nasal sprays may need a few days of regular use before they reach full effect. Hayfever injections may begin to help within days, though timing varies.
In many cases, yes. These services are designed to be accessed directly through your pharmacy. If your symptoms need further medical review, you will be advised on the next step.
No. Seasonal pollen is a major trigger, but allergic rhinitis and related symptoms can also be caused by dust, mould, and animal allergens at other times of year.
You should ask for advice if you have persistent sneezing, blocked or runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, sinus pressure, headaches, disturbed sleep, fatigue, or symptoms that are not controlled by the medicines you are already using.
No. Any treatment depends on clinical assessment, safety, and suitability. The aim is to recommend the most appropriate option for your symptoms and medical history.
If the injection is not suitable, your pharmacist will discuss safer or more appropriate alternatives to help manage your hayfever symptoms.
Yes, you can take some hayfever tablets when pregnant or breastfeeding, but you should always check with a pharmacist, GP, or midwife first.
However, not all antihistamines are suitable, and the right option depends on your individual circumstances.
Your local pharmacy team can recommend safe and appropriate hayfever relief, including certain antihistamines, nasal sprays, or eye drops, to help manage symptoms effectively.
Always seek professional advice before starting any treatment to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.
