If you suffer from hayfever you’ll know how miserable it can make you feel. Itchy eyes, blocked nose, runny nose, sneezing, sinus pain and skin irritation.
There are lots of treatments that can help like: antihistamines, eyedrops, nasal sprays and decongestants. But if these are ineffective or your symptoms are SEVERE:
GREAT NEWS there is an INJECTION that can be very effective. This steroid in the injection dampens down the inflammatory response to the POLLENS and REDUCES/ELIMINATES symptoms
it’s a steroid injection (KENALOG)
injected into deltoid (upper arm) or gluteal muscle (upper buttock)
no downtime
a ONE OFF injection: as it is an INTRAMUSCULAR injection the steroid is released slowly over weeks/months
can alleviate symptoms for the WHOLE hayfever season
side effects uncommon
Your assessment and treatment will be carried out by Dr Heather McCallum – a qualified GP with specialist training in INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTIONS, registered with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HCIS) and fully insured for this treatment. So you’re in SAFE HANDS.
These injections are not suitable for everyone and certain conditions (like Type 1 Diabetes) preclude people from having one. You can seek advice from us prior to booking. A full medical and medication history will be taken at your consultation.
