Summary
The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) has warned hay fever sufferers against purchasing the unlicensed medicine Kenalog online, as nearly half of pharmacists reported increased inquiries about it amid high pollen counts. Kenalog, which contains triamcinolone acetonide, is not approved for hay fever treatment in the UK due to potential serious side effects, and the NPA cautions that medications sold online may be fake or unsafe. Patients are urged to consult pharmacists for licensed alternatives and the NPA calls for reintroducing regulations to help identify safe online pharmacies.
