What are allergies and hayfever?

Allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to something that’s usually harmless. For many people, this shows up as hayfever, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, but allergies can occur all year round.

Common triggers include pollen, dust, pet hair, mould, certain foods, and some medicines. When your body reacts, it releases chemicals like histamine, which cause the familiar allergy symptoms.

At Nashi Pharmacy, you can use our online consultation to check whether hayfever or allergy treatment is suitable for you.

What causes allergies?

Allergy triggers vary from person to person. Pollen from grass, trees, and weeds is one of the most common causes of hayfever, especially in spring and summer. Other triggers include house dust mites, animal fur, and environmental irritants.

Some people also react to foods such as nuts, shellfish, or dairy, or to certain medications. Knowing what triggers your symptoms can help you manage them more effectively and reduce flare-ups.

Allergy and hayfever symptoms

Allergy symptoms can affect different parts of the body. Common symptoms include a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, and sinus pressure.

Some people also experience skin irritation, redness, swelling, or itching. In more severe reactions, swelling of the lips, face, or tongue can occur, which needs urgent medical attention.

How allergies and hayfever are assessed

If you’re unsure what’s causing your symptoms, your GP may recommend allergy testing.

For hayfever and mild allergy symptoms, you can also use the Nashi Pharmacy online clinic. You’ll complete a short, confidential questionnaire about your symptoms, triggers, and medical history.

A clinician will review your answers and, if appropriate, recommend hayfever or allergy treatment, such as antihistamines or nasal sprays. If approved, treatment can be delivered discreetly to your home.

If your symptoms suggest a more serious allergy, you’ll be advised to seek further medical assessment.

*Subject to pharmacist approval.

To start treatment, you’ll complete a short online consultation so our pharmacists can understand your needs. A pharmacist will review your answers and confirm if treatment is suitable.

If approved, you can request ongoing supplies through follow-up online check-ins. We review each request to make sure the medicine remains safe and appropriate for you.

What is the online clinic?

The online clinic lets you request prescription treatments through a secure online consultation. A clinician reviews your information and decides if treatment is suitable.

How does the online consultation work?

You complete a short questionnaire about your health, symptoms, and any medicines you take. There’s no live appointment. A clinician reviews your answers and follows up if needed.

Do I need to speak to someone on a call or video?

No. The service is asynchronous, meaning your consultation is reviewed without a live call. This lets you complete it at a time that suits you.

Who reviews my consultation?

Your consultation is reviewed by a qualified pharmacist following clinical guidelines.

How long does it take to get a decision?

Review times can vary. You’ll be contacted if more information is needed or once a decision has been made.

Will I always receive treatment?

No. Treatment is only supplied if it’s safe and appropriate. If it’s not suitable, you’ll be advised on next steps.

How do I receive my treatment?

If approved, your prescription treatment will be delivered to your address in discreet packaging.
