Hayfever injection (Kenalog)

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.

Hayfever injection costs just £90 per dose, which includes an in depth free consultation as to suitability, consideration of all the risks so you can make an informed decision. If you are over 60kg, an 80mg dose may be advised as the optimal dose to alleviate symptoms is 1mg of Kenalog per 1kg of body weight.

Kenalog is a corticosteroid and for some people may not be suitable as the risks of having steroids outweighs the benefits of having less Hayfever symptoms. For people not suitable for steroids or only have severe nasal symptoms then Allertox could be the answer. An aerosol nasal spray of toxin performed in clinic is shown to relieve nasal symptoms of Hayfever for up to 10 weeks, cost for this is £180.
