Grazax

Description

Grazax is a medication that helps treat allergic rhinitis caused by grass pollen. The active ingredient in Grazax is Timothy grass pollen allergen extract. This medication works by desensitizing your immune system to grass pollen, reducing your allergic symptoms over time. Grazax is suitable for adults and children over 5 years old who suffer from allergic rhinitis due to grass pollen.

Dosage and usage

You should take Grazax once a day, ideally in the morning. The recommended dosage is one tablet under the tongue. Allow the tablet to dissolve completely before swallowing. Do not eat or drink for at least 1 minute after taking Grazax. The effects of Grazax can last until the end of the grass pollen season. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
