Hayfever Season Begins

Most people feel glad when the winter months are over and spring begins. Unfortunately for some, the spring season can be a particularly unpleasant time as is signifies the onset of what has come to be known by sufferers as ‘Hayfever Season’.

Hayfever is the common name for allergic rhinitis, an inflammation of the nasal passages that is caused by pollen. Other allergens such as dust and animal fur can cause the same symptoms, which include itchy and watering eyes, rashes, sneezing and a marked increase in the production of mucus. These unpleasant symptoms can drastically affect a person’s ability to function normally and vary greatly in severity between sufferers.

When inhaled, pollen or other allergens cause the body to produce a chemical called histamine which is responsible for the symptoms of hayfever as the body tries to defend itself by flushing away the allergen. In response, the most common method of reducing the effect of the symptoms is to take antihistamines, though these can have several side-effects such as drowsiness. Galpharm One-a-Day Hayfever and Allergy Relief Non Drowsy tablets are a perfect way to reduce the disruptive symptoms of hayfever without causing any drowsiness whatsoever. As the United Kingdom’s largest supplier of non-prescription medicine, Galpharm is a trusted brand that has continued to build upon its impressive reputation since it was founded in 1982. Harrison’s Direct are pleased to supply Galpharm One-a-Day Hayfever and Allergy Relief Non Drowsy tablets as part of our range of wholesale health products. Available in a case of 10 packs, these tablets will quickly begin to sell as spring continues and will continue well into October, the official end of ‘hayfever season’.
