Booking during the season
Symptoms tend to arrive suddenly and appointments fill quickly from late spring. Same day and next day slots are usually available. If nothing suitable shows online, call 0116456 0583.

For hay fever severe enough that antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays are not controlling it. We are on De Montfort Street in the professional quarter, a few minutes on foot from London Road station and around the corner from Victoria Park. Same day appointments are usually available through the season.

As soon as symptoms begin, typically between March and July. A single injection usually lasts 8 to 12 weeks, and some effects can last up to 6 months.
The East Midlands has a long grass pollen season with the surrounding arable land adding oilseed rape in spring, which triggers symptoms in people who are otherwise fine until June.

We do decline people, and the assessment is what the £75 covers whether or not you go ahead.


Your doctor reviews your symptoms, what you have already tried and how you took it, your medical history and your current medicines. A surprising number of people have not had a fair trial of the basics, and fixing that is often quicker, cheaper and safer than an injection.
If the injection is appropriate it is given as a single intramuscular injection, usually into the buttock, and takes a few minutes. You can leave straight afterwards.
Side effects reported commonly are headache and temporary sleep disturbance. Because this is a systemic corticosteroid, it can also affect mood and blood sugar, and repeated injections season after season carry more concern than a single one. Your doctor will go through this with you.

The East Midlands has a long grass pollen season with the surrounding arable land adding oilseed rape in spring, which triggers symptoms in people who are otherwise fine until June. As a rule, come as soon as symptoms begin rather than waiting to see whether they settle.
It is a licensed medicine, but the NHS stopped offering it routinely for hay fever. The reason is that it is a systemic steroid given for a condition that is not dangerous and usually responds to other treatment. Your doctor will go through that with you before you decide.
No. We offer this to adults of 18 and over only.
Repeat injections season after season carry more concern than a single one, because of the cumulative effects of systemic steroid. That is a conversation to have with your doctor rather than a booking to make automatically.

Leicester railway station is a short walk, which makes us easy from Loughborough, Market Harborough and Nottingham.
Typically 8 to 12 weeks, and some effects can last up to 6 months. For many people that covers the worst of the season.
Yes, and taken properly. Many people have used an antihistamine occasionally or a nasal spray with the wrong technique, and correcting that works often enough to be worth trying first.
Not in pregnancy. With diabetes it can raise your blood sugar, so it needs a proper discussion and is often not the right choice.
We will say so and explain what would help instead. The £75 covers the consultation either way.
