Understanding Allergy Season
As October brings vibrant colors and warmer days to 2024, we also enter peak allergy season. With pollen counts rising and allergens floating in the air, many people start to experience seasonal allergy symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and congestion. But don’t worry – here at your local pharmacy, we’re ready to support you with everything you need to make this season more manageable.
Allergy season occurs when pollen levels increase, triggering allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), climate change and longer growing seasons have contributed to more severe pollen levels in recent years. These higher levels can exacerbate common symptoms such as sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes, making it even more important to manage these seasonal irritants properly.
Relief Options We Offer
Managing allergy symptoms can significantly improve your quality of life. Our pharmacy offers a variety of over-the-counter medications to help alleviate discomfort. Popular antihistamine options like Zyrtec 10mg Allergy Relief Tablets and Pharmacy Choice Fexofenadine 180mg are great for fast-acting relief from sneezing, runny noses, and itchy eyes. These medications block histamines, which are responsible for most allergy symptoms.
If nasal congestion is a major issue for you, Azep Hayfever Relief Nasal Spray can provide targeted relief to help you breathe easier. For asthma sufferers, our E-chamber Asthma Spacer and Welcare Spacer ensure that you get the most out of your inhaler, making your asthma medications more effective.
Non-Medication Solutions
Apart from medications, many people are looking for natural ways to manage allergies. The Cochrane Review on Nasal Saline for Allergic Rhinitis highlights that nasal saline irrigation can help alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal obstruction, runny nose, and sneezing. The review, which includes 14 studies with a total of 747 participants, suggests that saline irrigation may be beneficial for both adults and children. We carry these rinses as a natural option to help clear blocked airways and reduce symptoms without medication.
Air purifiers are also an excellent way to keep indoor air clean and reduce allergen levels in your home. Our team can offer tips on how to minimize allergen exposure and help you choose the best product for your needs.

Our pharmacists are here to guide you through these options, making sure you get personalized advice that addresses your specific needs. Whether it's a one-time consultation or ongoing support throughout allergy season, we’ve got your back.
