Hayfever season is upon us, and evidence suggests that starting treatment a few weeks before symptoms develop is the most effective way of managing your condition. Nasal steroid sprays are the most effective, safe, and recommended treatment for daily, moderate-to-severe hayfever, particularly for reducing congestion. These are available over the counter from your local pharmacy.

If you have a query regarding your prescription, please telephone the surgery to speak to a member of our team as opposed to coming to the reception desk. In particular, if you are in the Pharmacy and there is an issue, calling us can sometimes help resolve the matter there and then. Many thanks for your cooperation.
