kENALOG HAY FEVER INJECTION

hayfever jab

The Kenalog hay fever injection is for the treatment of severe hay-fever, that is resistant to alternative treatments.

 Hay fever is caused by your immune system reacting unnecessarily to pollens. Your immune system is such an important part of your body that it will preferentially use up a lot of your energy uselessly ‘fighting off’ pollens which it interprets as attacking you. Energy that would be much better utilized elsewhere in life. Trees can begin to produce pollen in late January and some grasses continue producing pollen until September so depending on what you’re allergic to, the season can be many months.

Between 10-15% of us suffer from hay fever symptoms. For many people it causes significant fatigue and  problems  with  concentration  and  alertness.   Of  those  10-15%  of  people  with  hay-fever,  about  10%  do  not  respond  to  conventional,  easily available  treatments  like  anti-histamine  tablets,  nasal  sprays  and  eye  drops.  Many  of  these  people consider a Kenalog injection to help them get through the season.  Each   Kenalog   injection   contains   Triamcinolone   acetonide   40mg/1ml   as   the   active   ingredient. Triamcinolone  acetonide  belongs  to  a  group  of  medicines  called  corticosteroids  (steroids).  The principal effect of corticosteroids is to reduce the body’s inflammatory & allergic response and they are  used  very  commonly  for  many  serious  medical  conditions but they do have significant risks.

Kenalog  injections  were  given  routinely  to  severe  hay  fever  sufferers  via  the  NHS  until  about  5-10 years  ago  but  have  now  fallen  out  of  favour  and  the  NHS  no  longer  prescribes  or  administers Kenalog for hay fever as their guidelines have determined that the potential risks do not justify the benefits that people may gain from the treatment. There  are  many  people  who  have  used  this  treatment  to  good  effect  and  while  we  do  not  directly disagree with the assessment of the NHS, we do believe in patient choice and are happy to make this treatment available to people who have thoroughly considered the risks.

Kenalog is still officially licensed for the treatment of severe hay fever in the UK and continues to be routinely administered to patients in most other countries around the world. A  Kenalog  injection  does  not  cure  hay  fever.  It  just  temporarily  suppresses  the  immune  system enough to take away the symptoms in most people who need it. The potential side effects from Kenalog can last for about 3 weeks after the injection but many people find the relief from symptoms commonly lasts the entire season and most people do not suffer any ill effects at all.

 Kenalog injections, like all steroids can cause  unwanted side-effects,  although these are rare  at  the dose  levels  that  you  get  from  a  Kenalog  injection.  The  unique  issue  with  a  Kenalog  injection  that differentiates  it  from  oral  steroids  is  that  once  the  injection  is  administered  the  effects  last  for  at least  3  weeks.  With  tablets  the  effects  are  gone  within  about  24  hours  or  less.  This  is  the  main reason NHS guidelines have identified this method of administering steroids as a problem.
