Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, occurs when the body reacts to allergens such as pollen, grasses, dust mites or pet allergens.
Exposure to these triggers can cause symptoms including sneezing, a runny or congested nose, itchy or watery eyes, sinus pressure, headaches and tiredness. Although hay fever can occur throughout the year, symptoms may become more noticeable during warmer months when environmental allergens such as pollen are more prevalent.
Hay fever symptoms occur when your immune system reacts to allergens such as pollen, grass or dust mites. This reaction can trigger inflammation and nerve signals within the nasal passages, resulting in symptoms such as sneezing, congestion and a runny nose.
Our hay fever treatment uses a topical application of muscle relaxant medication delivered through the nasal passages. The treatment coats the inside of the nostrils and works by blocking receptors involved in triggering hay fever symptoms.
Unlike injectable treatments, the medication is administered using a nasal spray, meaning no needles or injections are required.
