Antihistamines for all your allergies If you just sneezed, something was probably irritating or tickling the inside of your nose. A sneeze is a strong, sudden, uncontrolled burst of air through your nose and mouth. Often, it is a way for your body to remove any irritants which have entered through your nose.

In people with allergies, a chemical known as ‘histamine’ is released when they come into contact with allergens they are sensitive to, such as dust mite, animal dander or pollen. Histamine irritates certain nerve endings (triggering us to sneeze), makes our blood vessels in our nose swell (causing a blocked nose) and drives mucus glands to work harder (thus causing a runny nose). That is why medications known as ‘antihistamines’ can often help during allergies.

Antihistamine medications work by blocking the action of the chemical, known as histamine, released after exposure to an allergen. These medications are commonly available in a tablet form or as a nasal spray preparation. Non-sedating antihistamine tablets are available as Over-The-Counter medicines from the pharmacy and are generally convenient to take as a daily preparation. Alternatively, or additionally, you may also use some nasal sprays that can provide fast acting local allergy relief and control the sneezing!

Claratyne
Non-drowsy anti-histamine tablets help relive itching, sneezing and runny nose. They work by blocking the effect of histamine to reduce the reaction to the allergen.
Allergies occur when a person’s immune system reacts to harmless substances in the environment that do not bother most people. These substances are known as ‘allergens’ or ‘allergic triggers’. Hayfever, also known as allergic rhinitis, can be categorised into two groups: 1. ‘seasonal’ allergic rhinitis, when you experience symptoms mainly during spring and summertime 2. ‘perennial’ allergic rhinitis, when you experience symptoms all year round. The first step in gaining control over your allergies is by preventing them from occurring in the first place. Ideally, the best prevention is to identify what is triggering your allergy and take steps to avoid exposure to it. You could be allergic to dust mites, mould spores, pollen, animal dander, or something else. It may take some time and research to identify all the substances which you are allergic to. It may be helpful to keep a diary to help you better understand your triggers. Boost your immune system by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and keep a well balanced diet, or take supplements if required. If you suffer from hayfever, you may be able to better predict when your allergies will begin. Thus, you can use certain medications a couple of weeks prior to high pollen seasons. Seek advice from your pharmacist about suitable products to use this season!

Asthma & Hayfever Fess Saline Spray
Asthma and allergies are closely linked, so it is good to be aware of how to prevent allergies or manage symptoms. Saline nasal sprays or nasal rinses are non-medicated products that help flush out pollens that cause allergies, and may also unblock the nose.

Fess Saline Spray is a natural way to help relieve nasal congestion. It may be used regularly to help keep your nose clear of excess mucous.
Fess Little Eyes
Asthma and hayfever symptoms increase every year during grass pollen season. There is also the chance of an epidemic thunderstorm asthma event. A combination of high pollen counts, wind, and moisture creates thunderstorm asthma. How is asthma and hayfever connected?

On particularly windy days, the allergens in and dirt in the air may result in itchy and irritated eyes. Using a gentle cleansing wipe like Fess Little Eyes enriched with chamomile extract may help to remove secretions, crusted matter and residue from around the eyes and soothe the irritation. These hypoallergenic wipes are Ophthalmologist recommended and Dermatologist certified to be suitable for use on the most sensitive of skins.
If you wheeze or cough with your hayfever, you may have asthma without knowing it. Around 1 in 4 people with hayfever also have asthma, therefore it is important to recognise what triggers your asthma as well as hayfever symptoms.
Able Spacer
When an asthma puffer is used directly into the mouth, most of the medication is absorbed into the back of the throat. This is not very effective to reduce the asthma symptoms, and can increase the local side effects of the medication. If someone is having trouble breathing, using a spacer will enable them to get up to 90% more medication into their lungs.
Knowing what triggers your asthma and hayfever symptoms gives you an opportunity to avoid or reduce exposure to these allergens, thus improving your symptoms particularly during the spring season when grass pollen counts are high. Here are some tips on how to be prepared this season: • Understand your triggers • Have an asthma action plan and learn the 4 steps of asthma first aid • Have your asthma relievers handy • Know what medications to take to control your hayfever symptoms • Avoid being outside on high pollen count days, especially when the wind is also strong
