Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops prevent and relieve itchy, red, watery eyes associated with hay fever. They work to reduce inflammation in the eye and replenish the protective tear film which protects your eyes from airborne particles.

Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops are only intended for eye irritations caused by hay fever. If your symptoms are caused by other allergens, such as pet dander or pollution, speak to your doctor or a pharmacist for advice.

With Prescription Doctor, you can buy Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops online from a UK pharmacy. All items dispatched from our pharmacy are packaged in discreet packaging and dispatched via a fast and discreet next-day delivery service.

If you are experiencing eye irritations, such as bloodshot or dry eyes, which are not caused by hay fever, you can buy eye drops for other conditions online from Prescription Doctor.

What Causes Hay Fever?

Hay fever is an allergic response to pollen in the air. Pollen is a type of tiny particles released from plants, including trees and grass. You may be allergic to one specific type of pollen, which can affect when your symptoms occur and how long your hay fever symptoms last.

Between the months of May and July, the pollen count (the average amount of pollen in the air) is at its highest, though you may experience symptoms as early as February to as late as September, depending on the type of pollen you are allergic, as well as the weather conditions.

Tiny particles of pollen can irritate the membrane inside the eyelids and at the back of the eye, called the conjunctiva.

In response, the body’s immune system releases histamine to attack the foreign substance. This histamine causes inflammation and dilation of the blood vessels, resulting in irritation and inflammation around the eyes.

Symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis include:

• Itchy eyes
• Pain or discomfort in and around the eyes
• Pink or red-eye
• Watery eyes

Allergic conjunctivitis may be present alongside other hay fever symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, such as sneezing, an itchy nose and a sore throat.

While there is currently no cure for hay fever, a range of treatments is available that can prevent or relieve your symptoms.

Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops contain an active ingredient called sodium cromoglicate. This ingredient prevents the body from releasing histamine, which in turn prevents the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis from occurring.

It is essential to note that Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops only alleviate symptoms in the eyes and do not address other symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, or coughing. You should only use Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops in the eyes.

How Do Murine Hayfever Relief Eye Drops Work?

Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops contain a mast cell stabiliser called sodium cromoglicate.

Sodium cromoglicate prevents mast cells from releasing an inflammation-causing chemical called histamine.

When an allergen is present, mast cells release a chemical called histamine. This chemical causes inflammation and the typical symptoms of hay fever.

Rather than blocking the action of histamine like a typical antihistamine, sodium cromoglicate prevents mast cells from releasing histamine in the first place, thereby reducing inflammation in the eye.

Murine Hayfever Relief Eye Drops Warnings & Safety Information

Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops are an effective eye care solution, but they may not be suitable for everyone. You should not use them:

• If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the medication
• For any other allergic eye symptoms that are not caused by hay fever

How to Identify Hay Fever Symptoms

You must be confident that hay fever is causing your irritated eyes. You can be sure of this if:

• Both eyes are affected
• You also have a runny or blocked nose
• Your eyesight is not affected
• You know that you suffer from hay fever and your symptoms coincide with the times of year when grass or tree pollen is high

However, the following scenarios suggest you cannot be sure your symptoms are caused by hay fever. In which case, you should speak to your pharmacist or doctor before using this medicine.

• You have no nasal symptoms
• Only one eye is affected
• Your sight is affected
• The symptoms occur at the wrong time of year for hay fever
• The symptoms are likely to be caused by another allergy (such as to pets or dust mites)

If you are unsure if the above applies to you, seek medical advice before starting treatment.

How Can I Stop Itchy Eyes From Hay Fever?

Preventing itchy eyes caused by hay fever (allergic conjunctivitis) can be difficult, but there are some ways you can minimise the risk of getting pollen in your eyes.

The simplest solution is to avoid pollen altogether, though this is easier said than done. Staying indoors with doors and windows shut is an effective but not always viable solution to beat hay fever.

If you need to go outside while the pollen is high and want to reduce your risk of symptoms, you should protect your eyes from pollen as much as you can. Wearing a hat (such as a baseball cap or sun hat) can prevent pollen from falling into your eyes. Sunglasses, particularly the wrap-around variety, are relatively effective at preventing pollen from getting into your eyes.

It is advisable to keep up to date with the pollen count in your area by regularly checking the weather report. The Met Office in the UK provides pollen count updates throughout the pollen season.

When used regularly, Murine Hayfever Relief eye drops are also effective at preventing symptoms from arising. Murine eye drops are available to buy without a prescription from Prescription Doctor.
