In action against hay fever
Allergy treatment campaign launched
With a nice video, we kicked-off the battle agains hay fever this year. Doing this, we try to warn as many hay fever patients as early as possible in the season about the effects of their allergies. By starting immunotherapy in the autumn, the complaints can be tackled structurally during the hay fever season. Many people only take action when the first hay fever symptoms appear. However, by starting early, you will be better protected against annoying complaints next spring. An additional advantage: if you have fewer nasal complaints, you have to test for corona less often.
