What is Grazax?

Grazax tablets are used to treat hay fever caused by a specific allergy to grass pollen.

Grazax tablets contain an allergen extract of grass pollens. This is a type of medicine known as immunotherapy. Using it regularly leads to the activation of your body's immunomodulatory mechanisms, alleviating symptoms such as a congested nasal passage, and red, itchy and watery eyes that are caused by an allergic reaction to grass pollen. Furthermore, it reduces your need for other medications, improving your quality of life.

How to use Grazax?

You are advised to take Grazax tablets once daily and ideally you need to be taking them all year round. Grazax is still highly effective when you start taking it around 4 months before the grass pollen season starts, however you will notice a positive effect even you begin taking it 2 or 3 months before the season starts.

Upon taking the tablets, you may experience some mild local side effects for a couple of hours due to immune systems allergic responses, such as itching and swelling in the mouth and ears, throat irritation and sneezing. If these symptoms persist then consult your doctor.
