Spring is here, but so is Allergy Season!

Spring is a beautiful time of year, but for many, it also marks the start of hay fever season.

At Safety Bay Pharmacy, we’re here to help you manage your health and well-being, so you can enjoy the season to the fullest!

Common Signs and Symptoms of Hay Fever:

• Sneezing and runny nose

• Itchy eyes, throat, and nose

• Watery or red eyes

• Congestion and sinus pressure

• Fatigue or feeling run down

If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be experiencing hay fever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis. It's caused by allergens such as pollen from flowers, grass, and trees that are abundant during spring.

Treatment Options Available at Safety Bay Pharmacy:

• Antihistamines: These help block the body’s reaction to allergens and relieve symptoms like sneezing, itching, and a runny nose. We stock a range of over-the-counter antihistamines to suit your needs.

• Nasal Sprays: Steroid and decongestant nasal sprays can reduce inflammation and help with nasal congestion.

• Eye Drops: If itchy or watery eyes are bothering you, anti-allergy eye drops can provide relief.

• Saline Rinses: Nasal irrigation with a saline solution can help clear allergens from the nasal passages, reducing symptoms naturally.

• Consult Our Pharmacists: We are always available for advice on managing symptoms or choosing the best treatment option tailored to your condition.

Additional Tips for Managing Hay Fever:

• Limit outdoor exposure on high-pollen days.

• Keep windows closed in your home and car to avoid letting pollen in.

• Shower and change clothes after being outside to remove pollen from your skin and hair.

Don't let hay fever hold you back from enjoying spring! Visit Safety Bay Pharmacy for expert advice and the right products to keep your symptoms under control.
