Preparations for hay fever

The nasal sprays and Grazax require a prescription; cetirizine and loratadine are available only from pharmacies. After making your selection, you will complete a medical questionnaire, and a doctor will decide whether a treatment is suitable for you.

Selbst einschätzenAssess it yourselfFaire le point vous-mêmeZelf inschatten

Which treatment might be suitable?

  1. 1 When sneezing, itching and a runny nose are the main symptoms Antihistamines such as cetirizine or loratadine are taken as a tablet once daily and can also be used for itchy eyes or hives. Drowsiness is a possible side effect. A doctor will decide which medication is suitable.
  2. 2 Especially if the nose is blocked or if the symptoms persist for weeks. Cortisone nasal sprays like Avamys, Flixonase, or Nasonex work directly in the nose and are used regularly every day. The full effect develops over several days. A doctor will determine whether a particular spray is suitable.
  3. 3 For moderate to severe symptoms that are not sufficiently relieved by a single nasal spray. The combination nasal sprays Dymista and Ryaltris contain a cortisone and an antihistamine. No additional cortisone-containing nasal spray is used. A doctor will decide whether a combination is appropriate.
  4. 4 If your grass pollen allergy has been tested and immunotherapy has already been started by a doctor. Grazax is taken daily for three years, starting before the pollen season, and is not a remedy for rapid relief. It is not suitable for severe or uncontrolled asthma. The doctor will decide whether treatment can be continued.

What you should know about hay fever

Hay fever is a common allergy in which the immune system overreacts to otherwise harmless substances such as pollen. Medication can alleviate symptoms, but it does not replace the need to investigate new or unclear symptoms.

What is hay fever?

In hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), the immune system reacts to pollen from trees, grasses, or herbs. This reaction releases, among other things, the messenger substance histamine. Typical symptoms include:

  • Sneezing fits, a runny or blocked nose
  • Itching in the nose, eyes, or palate
  • Red, watery eyes and fatigue

If similar symptoms occur throughout the year, an allergy to house dust mites, pet dander, or mold is often the cause (perennial allergic rhinitis). Whether an allergy is present and what triggers it can be determined with a skin or blood test.

What treatments are there?

Depending on the type and severity of the symptoms, various medications may be suitable:

  • Antihistamines: Tablets such as cetirizine or loratadine block the effects of histamine.
  • Cortisone nasal sprays: They inhibit allergic inflammation directly in the nose
  • Combination sprays: combine a cortisone with an antihistamine
  • Immunotherapy (hyposensitization): The immune system becomes accustomed to the allergen over the years.

Antihistamines and nasal sprays alleviate symptoms as long as they are used, but they do not cure the allergy. Immunotherapy with Grazax requires confirmation of a grass pollen allergy and is initiated by a doctor.

Side effects and cautions

Cortisone nasal sprays can cause nosebleeds, dryness, burning in the nose, or headaches. Only a small amount of the active ingredient enters the bloodstream. Blurred vision or other visual disturbances should be evaluated by a doctor. Caution is advised when using them with HIV medications such as ritonavir or cobicistat.

Antihistamines can cause drowsiness, especially when combined with alcohol, and thus impair driving ability. Itching and swelling in the mouth are common side effects of Grazax.

Do not use multiple cortisone-containing nasal sprays at the same time and list all medications in the questionnaire.

When should you see a doctor immediately?

An allergic reaction can rarely be severe. Call emergency services immediately on 112 (Switzerland: 144) if:

  • Swelling of lips, tongue, face or throat
  • Shortness of breath, wheezing, or a feeling of tightness in the throat may occur.
  • Dizziness, rapid heartbeat or fainting may occur together with allergic symptoms.

Seek prompt medical attention if your nose is permanently blocked on only one side, if you experience repeated nosebleeds, crusting or facial pain, if you develop a fever, or if you develop a cough and breathing difficulties.

Pollen in everyday life

Reduce contact with pollen

In addition to medication, reducing contact with the allergen can provide relief. A pollen calendar and regional pollen forecast show when which pollen types are in the air. Cortisone nasal sprays work best when used regularly and starting at the beginning of the pollen season. With immunotherapy using Grazax, timing is even more crucial, as treatment begins approximately four months before the grass pollen season.

  • Wash your hair before going to bed and don't leave street clothes in the bedroom.
  • In the city, ventilate in the morning; in the countryside, in the evening.
  • Keep the windows closed and use a pollen filter while driving.

If symptoms persist despite treatment, or if coughing and shortness of breath develop, an evaluation by an allergist is advisable. In some cases, allergic asthma develops over time (a progression of symptoms to the lower respiratory tract). More information can be found here: Asthma.

Frage an einen ArztAsk a doctorPoser une question à un médecinVraag stellen aan een arts
Do I need a prescription for these medications?

It depends on the medication. The nasal sprays Avamys, Flixonase, Nasonex, Dymista, and Ryaltris, as well as Grazax, require a prescription. Cetirizine and loratadine are available only from a pharmacy. Even with these tablets, a doctor will review your questionnaire before the partner pharmacy ships the medication. Therefore, please provide complete information about any pre-existing conditions and medications you are currently taking.

Initial improvement is sometimes possible after a few hours, but the full effect usually develops over several days. Therefore, cortisone nasal sprays are used regularly every day, not just for acute symptoms. With combination sprays, the antihistamine may take effect sooner. If symptoms do not improve after a few days, a doctor should be consulted.

Taking an antihistamine tablet together with a cortisone nasal spray is generally possible; the doctor will make the final decision. However, multiple cortisone-containing nasal sprays should not be used simultaneously, for example, Avamys with Dymista or Ryaltris. Other cortisone medications, such as asthma inhalers or tablets, as well as HIV medications containing ritonavir or cobicistat, are also important to consider. Therefore, please list all medications you are taking on the questionnaire.

Grazax is an immunotherapy for grass pollen allergy and not an acute treatment. It requires a positive skin or blood test and treatment initiated by a doctor. The first tablet is taken under medical supervision. Daily intake for 3 years is recommended. If swelling in the throat, shortness of breath, or worsening asthma occurs, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

In that case, the treatment will not be approved and you will receive a full refund of all payments made. For unclear, one-sided, or unusually severe nasal symptoms, we recommend consulting a local doctor, such as an ENT specialist or allergist. If you experience warning signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as shortness of breath or swelling in the throat, call emergency services immediately at 112.
