ALL ABOUT Hayfever Injection

Severe hayfever symptoms can ruin peoples
summers and have a detrimental effect on quality
of life and ability to work optimally. 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, it is possible to request an
appointment to discuss the hay fever injection
private at our clinics in Nottingham and
Sheffield. 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.

As with all injected medications, and in line
with good medical practice, the doctor will
undertake a careful risk assessment to make sure
that you are a good candidate for treatment, and
will explain the potential side effects and
likely benefits in detail. In our twenty-year
experience of administering the hayfever
injection, we have seen virtually nothing in the
way of even mild side effects with two people
reporting a dimpling of the skin at the site of
the injection (the buttock). This dimpling is
uncommon, however, patients are always advised
that it may occur and like all administered
medications, the risks of any treatment must be
balanced against the potential benefit of the
treatment given.

The overwhelming feedback from patients in terms
of response, control of symptoms and improvement
in quality of life is very positive. It given in
the top of the buttock and starts working almost
immediately and typically kicks in anywhere
from one to forty-eight hours after
administration. This medication administered
when hayfever symptoms first appear can give
symptom remission that lasts for the duration of
the entire pollen or allergen season (usually
three months). The dose required to control
severe symptoms is partly related to body weight,
and heavier subjects will require a larger dose
to ease their symptoms. We have found that the
therapeutic dose for most effective relief is 1mg
per kg of body weight, therefore our standard
doses administered are 40mg-80mg per patient per
season.

The full range of treatments options available
for hay fever will be discussed by doctors, who
will decide whether the potential benefits of the
treatment for severe hayfever outweigh any
risks. Every year our clinics see a cohort of
desperate people who have tried the oral and
topical medications without much symptomatic
improvement including those who work outdoors,
those who have severe allergic reactions to
pollen, business people whose summers and
meetings are ruined by severe symptoms, drivers
who feel unsafe to be on the road and,
interestingly, a number of pharmacists, doctors
and NHS GPs.

No intervention currently available
to severe hayfever sufferers in the UK offers
greater convenience, symptom relief and patient
satisfaction than this single intramuscular
injection which can last up to three months. We
have hundreds of messages each hayfever season
from grateful patients who feel that they have
regained their quality of life. Hayfever
injection costs just 75 per 40mg dose, including
a free medical consultation at Regent Street
Clinic. If you are over 60kg, an 80mg dose may
be advised by the clinician. The optimal dose to
alleviate symptoms is 1mg of Kenalog per 1kg of
body weight. All patients attending our clinics
for this injection are advised to read the
manufacturers patient information
leaflet here prior to attending, so that they are
able to make an informed decision to have
treatment, having considered all the risks, as
with all medication.
