Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) treatment online Ireland

Seasonal allergies can make everyday life miserable. Itchy eyes, sneezing, and blocked sinuses are all common signs of hay fever (allergic rhinitis).

Skip the GP visit, our Irish doctors can assess your symptoms online and, if suitable, send a prescription straight to your pharmacy within hours.

Common hay fever triggers include:

• Pollen from trees, grass, and weeds
• Dust mites
• Pet dander
• Mould spores

Prescription-strength treatments can help control hay fever by targeting the body’s allergic response, reducing inflammation, easing congestion, and preventing symptoms from returning during allergy season.

Antihistamine tablets (prescription strength)

Antihistamines block the effects of histamine, the chemical responsible for allergy symptoms. They help relieve sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and a runny nose, and can be taken daily throughout the hay fever season to keep symptoms under control.

Steroid nasal sprays (prescription strength)

Nasal corticosteroids reduce inflammation inside the nose, easing congestion, sinus pressure, and sneezing. They are especially helpful for patients with persistent or moderate-to-severe symptoms and can be used in conjunction with antihistamines.

Eye drops (for allergic conjunctivitis)

Antihistamine or mast-cell stabiliser eye drops can help reduce redness, itching, and watering caused by pollen and dust exposure. These are often used together with tablets or sprays for comprehensive symptom control.
