Fast Relief from Severe Hayfever Symptoms

Struggling with severe hayfever symptoms that don’t respond to over-the-counter medication? At The Canmore Clinic in Dunfermline, we offer hayfever steroid injections to help manage allergic rhinitis symptoms during peak pollen season. Delivered safely by experienced private GP Dr Matt Bulkeley, this one-off injection can offer relief that lasts for weeks.

What Is a Hayfever Injection?

The hayfever injection contains a long-acting corticosteroid (usually Kenalog) which helps reduce the body’s inflammatory response to allergens such as pollen. It is administered into the muscle and begins working within a few days to significantly ease symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked nose, and sinus pressure.

Who Can Benefit?

This treatment is suitable for:

  • Adults aged 18 and over
  • People with severe hayfever symptoms unresponsive to antihistamines, eye drops, and nasal sprays
  • Those affected by grass or tree pollen during the spring/summer season
  • Patients needing consistent symptom relief for important events, travel, or work

It is not recommended for mild hayfever or as a first-line treatment. We will assess your suitability during a pre-injection consultation with Dr Bulkeley.

What to Expect

  • A short consultation to confirm suitability and explain the risks and benefits
  • One single injection into the buttock or upper arm
  • Relief often begins within 1–3 days and may last up to 6–10 weeks
  • No downtime — you can resume normal activities straight after

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of the hayfever injection at The Canmore Clinic is £180, including consultation and treatment.
