What Is a Hayfever Injection?

A hayfever injection is a prescription-only treatment containing a long-acting corticosteroid (commonly triamcinolone) that works by reducing the body’s inflammatory response to pollen. Administered as a single intramuscular injection, it can quickly relieve symptoms such as:

  • Constant sneezing
  • Runny or blocked nose
  • Itchy, watery eyes
  • Sinus pressure and fatigue
  • Itchy throat and post-nasal drip
