Hay Fever

Hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to airborne allergens. When these particles come into contact with the lining of your nose, eyes, and throat, your immune system overreacts and releases histamine, which produces the familiar symptoms. It's seasonal for most people, though some experience it year-round.

The most common trigger is pollen from grass, trees, and weeds, which is why symptoms tend to peak during spring and summer. Mould spores and dust can also set it off. Typical symptoms include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, and an irritated throat.

Hay fever is treated with antihistamine tablets and nasal sprays, available in both over-the-counter and prescription strengths. Many people manage well with standard pharmacy products; when they don't, higher-strength options can help. Tablets such as Fexofenadine and steroid sprays like Mometasone ease symptoms and reduce inflammation, while combination sprays such as Dymista and Ryaltris target moderate to severe symptoms.

You can buy hay fever tablets and prescription-strength sprays online after a short consultation reviewed by one of our clinicians. They'll check your symptoms and medical history to recommend the most suitable option, whether that's a once-daily tablet or a fast-acting nasal spray. Once approved, your treatment is dispatched the same day in discreet packaging, with free UK delivery as standard.
