Hayfever Treatment

New treatment for hayfever sufferers.

Is this for you?

If, during spring or summer times, hay fever controls your life, you’re not alone. One in five Australians suffers from it at some point in their life. But a new hay fever treatment may be the answer. This treatment ca reduce irritating symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes, offering long-term relief for those suffering from this condition. But what is this new hay fever treatment, and does it really work?

What is this new hay fever treatment?

The solution-based treatment for hay fever uses the same ingredient in anti-wrinkle injections.  It temporarily blocks specific nerve pathways responsible for triggering hayfever symptoms in the brain. Hence, it is also called Neuro-modulator medicine. In other words, it helps to reduce the body’s response to allergens like pollen and dust.

How is this new hay fever treatment administered?

This treatment is an intranasal treatment. It’s administered via nasal spray, which only takes a few minutes. This treatment formula is an S4 drug, so discussing this treatment with one of our doctors is essential before undertaking it. We also can’t state its registered trademark name here in Australia on our website, as you cannot name a drug under the TGA guidelines.

Does it work?

This treatment is patient-dependent – can work well for some, mildly for a few and not at all for others – we need to be very clear about this. It does take up to 14 days to kick in, however.

It can reduce the intensity of allergic reactions and it can make it a good choice for those who need fast relief but don’t want to take daily medications or shots.

Benefits of using this new hay fever treatment:

Long-term relief

Unlike other treatments, this new hay fever treatment may offer long-term relief from hay fever symptoms. Most patients experience reduced symptoms sometimes for up to a year after the initial treatment. However, in some cases, additional treatments are required. Everyone is different; therefore, results can differ per patient, as with any procedure.

Painless

The procedure is undertaken by one of our doctors at ENRICH Clinic. The process of this new hay fever treatment is painless, although it can tickle a bit. It’s a good option if you cannot take oral medications or shots. This treatment formula is an S4 drug, so discussing this treatment with one of our doctors is essential before undertaking it. We also can’t state its registered trademark name here in Australia on our site.

No downtime

Most patients report no downtime from this treatment. This means you can return to your regular activities after the process.
