Introduction Introduction
Thank you for choosing the LloydsPharmacy Allergy Reliever.
A number of people in the UK suffer from allergic rhinitis and/or
hayfever. The suffering is often a lot worse in the summer months
due to the presence of pollen and sufferers can become desperate
to relieve the symptoms of their allergies.
These symptoms are caused by the body’s reaction to allergens.
When the body comes into contact with allergens (e.g. pollen, dust,
pet hair), it produces increased amounts of antibodies which cause
certain cells to release histamine. It is histamine that triggers the
symptoms of allergic rhinitis and/or hayfever.
The LloydsPharmacy Allergy Reliever works by using phototherapy
of two specific wavelengths to gently relieve the symptoms of
allergic rhinitis.
The LloydsPharmacy Allergy Reliever can be used alone or
alongside your normal allergy medication.
Before using the LloydsPharmacy Allergy Reliever, please read this
user manual carefully.
