Hay Fever Injection – £90
The fee includes:
• Clinical consultation and assessment
• Hay fever injection (Kenalog®) where appropriate
• Administration by a qualified healthcare professional
• Aftercare advice and support
Important Pricing Update
Unfortunately, due to a significant increase in the wholesale cost of Kenalog® from our suppliers, we have been required to review our pricing from June 19th 2026. The cost of the medication has increased by approximately 60%, resulting in an unavoidable adjustment to our treatment fee.
We have absorbed as much of this increase as possible and remain committed to providing a safe, effective and competitively priced hay fever treatment service.
Appointments are available at our Blackburn and Bury clinics.

This procedure involves the administration of an intramuscular injection into the gluteal muscle.
The hay fever injection offered following appropriate medical assessment is a corticosteroid injection containing triamcinolone (Kenalog). Corticosteroids reduce inflammation and can help suppress the allergic inflammatory response responsible for hay fever symptoms. Because it is a systemic steroid treatment, suitability should be assessed by a medical professional.
It may be considered for some adults experiencing significant seasonal hay fever symptoms, particularly where conventional treatments have not provided adequate relief. It is not suitable for everyone, and your medical history, current medication and previous treatments should be reviewed before an injection is considered.
Response varies between patients. Some people may notice an improvement in their hay fever symptoms within several days following treatment. The degree and duration of symptom relief cannot be guaranteed and varies from person to person.
The duration of effect varies between individuals. Some patients may experience relief for several weeks, potentially covering a significant part of the hay fever season, whereas others may have a shorter response. It should not be assumed that a single injection will necessarily provide symptom control for the entire season.
No. Antihistamines work primarily by blocking the effects of histamine involved in an allergic reaction. Kenalog is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and immune activity more broadly. This is one reason why steroid injections have different potential risks and require appropriate medical assessment.
Like all medicines, corticosteroid injections can cause side effects. These can include injection-site reactions and systemic steroid effects, and there are circumstances in which treatment may not be appropriate. Your medical history should therefore be assessed and the potential benefits and risks discussed before treatment.
No. Certain medical conditions, medications, infections and other factors can make corticosteroid treatment unsuitable or require additional caution. This is why East Park Healthcare requires an appropriate assessment rather than providing the injection automatically on request.
Most people with hay fever should first consider conventional treatments such as antihistamines, corticosteroid nasal sprays and measures to reduce pollen exposure. NHS guidance recommends treatments such as antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays, and a pharmacist or clinician can advise on suitable options.
Yes. Because Kenalog is a prescription-only corticosteroid medicine, patients need to be appropriately assessed to determine whether treatment is clinically suitable. A hay fever injection should not simply be administered because somebody requests one.
East Park Healthcare provides private assessment for patients suffering from troublesome seasonal hay fever symptoms at our Blackburn clinic. Following assessment, appropriate treatment options can be discussed, including whether a corticosteroid injection is clinically suitable.
