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 clinic in Birmingham. The hayfever Kenalog
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
Kenalog 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.
