Is Grazax right for you?
Grazax might be right for you if other allergy treatments have not worked for you and your allergy symptoms are severe enough to stop you from doing everyday activities like being outside, working or sleeping.
Grazax is best for people who have been diagnosed by a doctor with specifically a grass-pollen allergy. This is often done by skin prick test.
Who should not use Grazax?
People with uncontrolled or severe asthma should not use Grazax.
You should also not use Grazax if you have an inflammatory condition in the mouth, such as oral lichen planus with ulcerations or severe oral mycosis.
Can you get Grazax from us if you’ve never had it before?
The first dose must be taken at a doctor’s office. This is because Grazax could cause an allergic reaction when you take it, it is unlikely but can be serious if it does happen.
We only prescribe Grazax if you have already had this appointment or if you can show us this appointment is booked.
Ask your GP if they can offer this kind of appointment for you if you want to use Grazax. They may charge you a fee. The appointment shouldn’t last for more than one hour.
The British Society for Immunology also has a list of Immunologists in the UK, some of which will offer private appointments.
This is only for the very first dose ever, you should not need another of these appointments.
Can I get Grazax from my GP?
Possibly, depending on your medical history.
Someone can only get Grazax on the NHS if they have not responded to other medicines that treat allergies.
This would be after trying various medicines for several seasons, which could take several years.
Access to Grazax on the NHS is more difficult because of the cost of the medicine.
Can you get your Grazax from us if a specialist started it?
Yes, getting medicine from us is usually better priced and more convenient than other private options.
If you choose to share your GP details, we will let them know when we supply you with Grazax. They will add this to your NHS medical record, which your specialist will be able to access if you want them to see that you are still using treatment.
You should still attend appointments with the specialist who first prescribed for you.
What is Grazax?
Grazax is a prescription medicine used to treat grass pollen allergies. Grazax tablets dissolve in the mouth and are taken once a day.
Grazax works by giving the body small amounts of grass pollen over time, this slowly gets the body used to the pollen (allergen), encouraging the immune system to become stronger and less likely to trigger allergy symptoms.
This process, sometimes called desensitisation (or allergen immunotherapy), helps reduce allergy symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose (allergic rhinitis), and itchy eyes (allergic conjunctivitis).
Grazax hayfever 75000 is a sugar-free dissolvable tablet form (called a lyophilisate) that you take once a day. Grazax Tablets treat grass pollen allergies. Grazax contains grass pollen allergen extract from Timothy grass (Phleum pratense).
There are similar medicines available for tree pollen (Itulazax) and house dust mite (Acarizax) allergies.
Grazax Dose
When using Grazax, follow the instructions from your doctor.
The usual dose given is one tablet daily, dissolved under the tongue.
To get the best effect, you should start taking the tablets 4 months prior to the expected start of the grass pollen season and should continue treatment for 3 years.
Place the tablet under the tongue and allow it to dissolve. Do not swallow during the first minute and do not eat or drink for at least 5 minutes.
If you take more tablets than required, you may experience allergic symptoms including local symptoms from the mouth and throat. If these symptoms become severe, immediately contact your doctor or hospital. If you forget to take a dose, do not double up doses. Take the dose as soon as you remember and then take the next dose at the correct time.
This medication is only for repeat prescriptions when already been started treatment by an allergy specialist.
How long do you take Grazax for?
In Grazax trials, people took Grazax every day for three years and then stopped. They still weren’t experiencing allergy symptoms at their follow-ups two years after stopping.
Grazax should be taken daily for the full 3 years to get the maximum benefit, not just during the allergy season.
When should you start taking Grazax?
Treatment for grass pollen allergy is usually required from late spring to early summer. Ideally Grazax should be started 16 weeks (4 months) before the grass pollen season.
