Did you know that pharmacists can help patients suffering from seasonal allergies?
They may recommend non-pharmacological measures, suggest over-the-counter treatments, such as antihistamines, eye drops or nasal sprays.
Nasal sprays containing corticosteroids may also be available over-the-counter, but you must ask for them at the pharmacy’s laboratory.
Pharmacists can, under certain conditions, give you a prescription for medications to relieve seasonal allergy symptoms. In fact, if you have ever been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or allergic conjunctivitis in the past and you were given a prescription, your pharmacist can prescribe treatment under certain conditions.
Consult your neighbourhood pharmacist-owner affiliated with Familiprix.
