We’ve known about hay fever since the 1800s, when a London doctor, John Bostock, identified what he called “summer catarrh” – what we now know to be hay fever. Bostock himself disputed the name, though – he thought the condition was exacerbated by heat, not pollen or hay.
And relief from hay fever hasn’t always been as sophisticated as it is now. In the 19th century, sufferers – who were generally assumed to be only from the upper classes1 – would visit the sea to ease their symptoms. By the 1890s, some hay fever remedies contained cocaine.
These days our treatment methods are far more sophisticated. Pirinase Hayfever Relief, for example, contains fluticasone propionate – a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory action, which is effective in both early and late phases of hay fever. Pirinase provides hay fever symptom control for up to 24 hours.
For the relief of allergy symptoms. Pirinase Hayfever Relief for Adults 0.05% Nasal Spray contains fluticasone propionate. Always read the label.
