Real talk with Nana Yeboah Here’s a top tip to treat hay fever If you're reading this with tired, itchy eyes, we understand! While allergy and hay fever is common this time of the year, the good news is Pharmacists have a trick to tackle symptoms: dual product therapy. How can dual product therapy help? Dual product or combination therapy means treating different symptoms with different products, at the same time. Think about it: If you have dry skin and a headache, you wouldn't treat both with paracetamol. Similarly, an antihistamine tablet can provide general relief from some allergy symptoms though isn’t designed to target others, such as a blocked nose. Next time you're in the pharmacy, describe all your hay fever symptoms and ask your Pharmacist for dual product therapy. They can recommend a product combination that will work together well for your situation, say, an antihistamine tablet combined with saline nasal spray or antihistamine eye drops. Remember, dual product therapy is not a one-size-fits-all fix and some products do require careful use, so always make sure to ask your Pharmacist for recommendations! ‘Scan for more on hay fever Nana Yeboah Pharmacist pe 4 TerryWhite Chemmart Chester Pass WA ‘Sources: 1-hitps://wmallerayorg au/patients/fastfacts/hay-feverallergichintis 2 tpsy/Awwwbetterhealth vic govau/health/conditionsandreatments/hay fever Wait. .. is your hay fever actually sinusitis?
