Optrex Hay Fever Relief

Optrex Hay Fever Relief offers welcome respite for those who suffer from the seasonal torment of hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis. This well-established solution is specially formulated to provide effective relief from the bothersome symptoms associated with hay fever, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and nasal congestion.

Hay fever is a common allergic reaction to airborne pollen from grass, trees, and weeds. When pollen enters the nose, throat, or eyes of individuals with hay fever, it triggers the release of histamines, which lead to the classic symptoms of sneezing, congestion, and eye discomfort.

Optrex Hay Fever Relief contains an active ingredient called Sodium Cromoglicate, which is a mast cell stabilizer. This medication works by preventing mast cells in the body from releasing histamines in response to allergens like pollen. By reducing histamine release, it helps to control hay fever symptoms, providing much-needed relief to those affected by this seasonal allergy.
