Well Pharmacy is advising people to make sure they are prepared for hay fever season by picking up medication early, and making sure they’ve got enough in their medicine cabinet to not have to go out if the pollen count is high.
Hay fever medication such as antihistamines is best started before pollen is fully in the air, so the experts are urging people to speak to their local pharmacist about what support is available as soon as possible.
George Sandhu, Deputy Superintendent Pharmacist at Well Pharmacy, said: “People who don’t suffer from hay fever sometimes think it’s just itchy eyes and a bit of a runny nose, but for millions of people it can turn the spring and summer into an unhappy experience.
