Spring is in the air at last! Most of us look forward to the end of the cold dark winter
months and all the delights of the spring season, but for hay fever sufferers, it is the worst
time of the year. Unfortunately for them, spring is not the only thing in the air at the
moment. Over the coming weeks and months grasses, trees and weeds will release vast
quantities of pollen into the air. And there is no getting away from it; wind-borne pollen
has even been detected 400 miles out to sea! An astonishing one quarter of the planet’s
population suffers from hay fever (or allergic rhinitis to give it its proper medical
term).The symptoms can be incredibly aggravating and include a runny or even stuffed
nose, frequent sneezing and intense itching of the eyes, nose, ears and throat, all of which
spells misery for the hay fever sufferer. These symptoms can have an enormous negative
effect on people´s lives, affecting everything from driving, to performance at work and
school and even impairing sleep patterns. In a bid to avoid pollen, sufferers can become
veritable prisoners in their own homes, only venturing outside when absolutely necessary.
And the news just keeps getting worse! Not only can we not escape pollen, new research
from Italy suggests that higher temperatures associated with global warming actually
lengthen the pollen season for some plants and trees, increasing the amount of pollen
they produce, and causing a rise in the number of people who are developing hayfever. In
2008, a staggering 18 million adults and 7.1 million children were diagnosed with hay
fever in the last 12 months according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in
the US.1 Lengthening of the pollen season means that people with hayfever may need to
start taking their allergy medication earlier, and continue it for longer periods of time. But
which allergy medication to choose? There is a bewildering array of hayfever medications
on the market, but some are more effective than others. A recently published article by
Sardana and colleagues2, from Penn State University in the US, confirmed azelastine nasal
spray (Allergodil®*) as the treatment of choice for hayfever sufferers. Azelastine, which is
applied topically as a nasal spray, is effective, fast acting (relieving all symptoms within 15
minutes), long-lasting ( 12 hours), well-tolerated, and can be used on an as-need basis for
the treatment of hayfever in both adults and children. With azelastine, one can banish
those hay fever symptoms and reclaim spring.

Get Your Hay Fever Under Control: Sufferers would like fast and straightforward help
onsdag, 07. april 2010
Frequent sneezing, nasal congestion, with red, itchy and watery eyes often adding to the fun, are intensely annoying, not only distracting from day-time activities, but also disturbing nightly rest, all of which reduces patients’ quality of life. Many try every conceivable remedy in a vain attempt to be rid of the aggravating symptoms – with mixed results. According to a survey, two-thirds of all patients are not satisfied with their hay fever treatment.

Verkar mot allergisymptom just där de ger upphov till skador!
Direkt applicering av antihistaminer just där problemet har sitt ursprung förbättrar livskvaliteten för dig som lider av hösnuva!
tisdag, 23. mars 2010
Den långa, kalla vintern är äntligen över! Dagarna är äntligen längre, vädret varmare, gräset grönare och blommorna börjar slå ut. Men när växtsäsongen börjar komma igång inleds också en riktigt plågsam tid för alla allergiker som nu har en lång säsong av nysningar, nästäppa, näsklåda och rinnande ögon framför sig. Symptomen på hösnuva – som inom medicinen också kallas ”allergisk rinit” – är oerhört plågsamma för allergiker och minskar deras livskvalitet avsevärt. Människor som lider av hösnuva har svårt att se fram emot långa cykelturer eller promenader på landet med nästäppa eller rinnande ögon. Lyckligtvis kan ett skräddarsytt behandlingssätt göra allergiker symptomfria under en mycket lång tid. Så kallade moderna antihistaminer, som kan appliceras direkt på det ställe där den allergiska reaktionen äger rum (t.ex. i näsan eller ögonen), tillgodoser patienternas behov på alla sätt och vis. De verkar snabbt, tolereras väl och medger dessutom flexibilitet i behandlingen. Det innebär att allergiker bara behöver använda nässprayen eller ögondropparna – båda innehåller den aktiva ingrediensen azelastine – när allergisymptomen verkligen uppträder och inte nödvändigtvis måste hålla ett vaksamt öga på pollenhalten. En nyligen publicerad undersökning av professor Friedrich Horak vid universitetet i Wien visar att de besvärliga symptomen försvinner inom några minuter efter applicering och hålls i schack i upp till 12 timmar. Allergikerna håller med om att en skräddarsydd behandling med omedelbar verkan innebär en avsevärd förbättring av livskvaliteten. Plötsligt blir vårens och sommarens härliga utomhusaktiviteter roliga igen!

Today allergic rhinitis, tomorrow asthma? - Get off the allergy train!
fredag, 29. januari 2010
As an allergy sufferer you are only too aware of the misery that accompanies the constant sneezing attacks, stuffed or permanently runny nose and watery eyes that signal the beginning of the allergy season. What you may not know, however, is that the pollen season is starting earlier and earlier as a consequence of changing global environmental conditions. This means that instead of the pollen season starting in Spring, which has traditionally been the case in the past, it can now start as early as January!. Although drugs with a fast onset of action are available for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, the annoying symptoms experienced by allergy sufferers are often inadequately treated and even ignored in some cases. But beware! Allergic rhinitis is not a disease to suffer and ignore! Left untreated, it can turn into something far worse, effectively ‘marching down’ the respiratory tract to develop into asthma! Experts term this an “allergic march”. Conversely, people with asthma frequently develop rhinitis. Armed with this knowledge, the non-government organization ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) sensibly recommend that patients with persistent rhinitis should be evaluated for asthma, and those with persistent asthma should be evaluated for rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis affects the upper airways, and asthma affects the lower airways, so ideally, a combined strategy should be used to treat both upper and lower airway disease in order to optimise treatment efficacy and safety. Whether treating allergic rhinitis or asthma it is important to deliver effective medication directly to the site(s) of inflammation. The antihistamine azelastine, for example, an effective and reliable topical treatment for allergic rhinitis, is delivered directly into the nose by nasal spray. Similarly, when treating asthma, inhalation therapy is the most common and effective way to deposit different drugs directly into the lungs. An inhaler device called the Novolizer® has a proven track record as a patient-friendly, effective and reliable device, capable of delivering a range of asthma drugs to all areas of the asthmatic lung.
