Hay Fever Injections

Kenalog™, also known as triamcinolone, is a synthetic corticosteroid which is a hormone that works within the body to reduce inflammatory responses. It is widely used in medicine for the treatment of certain breathing conditions, arthritis, endocrine diseases, kidney problems, allergies, skin diseases, and some blood disorders. Steroids are one of the most powerful anti- inflammatory medicines that work by suppressing your body’s immune response and ultimately reducing symptoms.

Kenalog™ is administered as an intra-muscular injection into the top of the buttock. Unlike other intra-muscular injections, it is not advisable to inject this into the top of the arm. After injection, the drug is slowly released into the body over several weeks and generally provides relief of symptoms for 3 to 8 weeks. A single vial of Kenalog™ (40 milligrams) is used to treat hay fever in adults, although in rare circumstances, the dosage can be increased if symptoms are not controlled. Due to the longer-term risks of Kenalog™ affecting the body’s own steroid production, it is not recommended to have more than 3 treatments in a year.

Kenalog™ is not a first line treatment for hay fever and must only be considered when symptoms are severe and not controlled by other methods, including limiting pollen exposure and medications, or if other methods produce intolerable side-effects. Over the counter or prescription medication may still be required for symptom control even after receiving a Kenalog™ injection.

    • Five star treatment

      I recently attended King Street Dental for whitening and composite bonding, and I will not be going anywhere else!

      Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, making the whole process easy and relaxing. I was made to feel at ease by everyone at the practice and have been so impressed with their professionalism & friendliness – they really do take the time to listen.

      I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail from all of the staff; going the extra mile to talk to you about recent or upcoming life events that they re-called you mentioning from a prior appointment – super friendly!

      Dr. Raluca and her team have taken away all of the doubts I had over my smile, thank you so much!

      Thank you again to all at King Street, I will be back!

    • Started coming to the practice a few years ago as my NHS practice was heavily neglecting my dental care, Raluca and Sarah gave me back my smile and have been an essential part of my recovery over the years. All of the staff are incredible and receptionists such as Chelsea make you feel very warm, welcome and safe. If you’re looking for top dental care, this is definitely the place to come!
