How long might it last?

This varies from person to person, and no particular outcome can be promised. Your prescriber will talk through what is realistic for you.

Should I try other treatments first?

Usually, yes. Antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays are normally recommended before an injection is considered, and your prescriber will discuss this with you.

Is it suitable for everyone?

No. It is a prescription medicine that is not appropriate for everyone, which is why an individual assessment at consultation is essential.

Are there side effects?

As with any corticosteroid, side effects are possible. Your prescriber will explain these fully before you decide whether to go ahead.

Who provides the treatment?

The treatment is assessed and provided by a registered nurse prescriber at our Loughborough clinic.

Availability is seasonal. If you are considering it, book a consultation so your options and timing can be discussed.

Do you offer Kenalog injections?

Kenalog is a brand of triamcinolone that people often ask for by name. The corticosteroid used at our clinic now is Depo-Medrone (methylprednisolone), which is used with the same aim. As with any hayfever injection, suitability is assessed individually at a consultation with a registered nurse prescriber.

Hayfever Injections

Hayfever injections use a corticosteroid to help manage the symptoms of seasonal allergies. This is a medical treatment provided only after a consultation to confirm it is suitable for you. Availability is seasonal, and your options are discussed at your appointment.

About Hayfever Injections

A hayfever injection uses a corticosteroid medicine that may help some people manage the symptoms of seasonal allergies, such as sneezing, a runny or blocked nose and itchy eyes. Many people still search for this treatment by the brand name Kenalog (triamcinolone); the corticosteroid used at our Loughborough clinic now is Depo-Medrone (methylprednisolone). It is a prescription-only medicine and a medical treatment, so it is provided only after a face-to-face consultation with a registered nurse prescriber, who will assess whether it is appropriate for you. It is not suitable for everyone, and it is not a substitute for standard hayfever treatments such as antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays, which are usually recommended first.

What a hayfever injection is

The injection contains a long-acting corticosteroid. Corticosteroids can reduce the body's inflammatory response, which is what drives many hayfever symptoms. Because it is a medical treatment with potential risks as well as possible benefits, a prescriber will talk through your history and your usual hayfever treatments before deciding whether it is a suitable option for you.

Kenalog and Depo-Medrone: what has changed

Many people ask for a hayfever injection by the brand name Kenalog, a brand of triamcinolone that has been used for this purpose for years. At our Loughborough clinic the corticosteroid now used is Depo-Medrone, a brand of methylprednisolone. Both belong to the same family of medicines and are used with the same aim: to help manage moderate to severe seasonal hayfever when standard treatments have not been enough. Whichever name brought you here, the approach is the same: an individual assessment with a registered nurse prescriber first, and a treatment only if it is suitable for you.

Your consultation and what to expect

Every hayfever injection begins with a consultation with a registered nurse prescriber. This is where your symptoms, medical history and current treatments are reviewed, and where the benefits and risks are explained. If the treatment is appropriate and you choose to go ahead, the injection itself is quick. If it is not appropriate for you, your prescriber will explain why and talk through the alternatives.

Is it right for me?

A hayfever injection may be considered for some adults whose seasonal symptoms are not well managed by standard treatments, but the decision is always made individually with a prescriber. It may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have certain medical conditions. The only way to know is through a consultation.

Aftercare

Your prescriber will give you personalised advice on the day, including what to look out for after treatment and when to seek advice. Contact the clinic if you have any concerns following your appointment.
