2. 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 rape seed.
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 hayfever injection at our clinics in
Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Sheffield, Leeds, Watford and Birmingham.
The 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.
The hayfever injection costs just £75 per 40mg dose, including a free medical
consultation at Regent Street Clinic™.
All patients attending our clinics for this injection are advised to read the manufacturer’s
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.
