Can I Get an E-Script for Allergy Medication

22 Oct 2024

As the weather warms up in October, allergies are in full swing for many Australians. Whether it's hay fever, dust mites, or pollen in the air, this time of year can trigger a variety of allergic reactions, leaving you with itchy eyes, a runny nose, or persistent sneezing.

Common Allergies in October

If you're one of the many Australians dealing with allergy symptoms, the good news is that you can quickly and easily get an e-script for your allergy medication through Our Sage Telehealth.

October is prime allergy season, particularly for people sensitive to airborne triggers like:

Pollen: Spring brings a burst of flowering plants, which release large amounts of pollen. This can lead to sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes for those with hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis).

Dust mites: With windows opening and spring cleaning in full effect, dust mites get stirred up. These tiny creatures thrive in warm, humid environments and can trigger asthma and nasal allergies.

Grass and weed pollen: Grasses like ryegrass and weeds like ragweed are major offenders this time of year, especially in regional areas.

Mould spores: The damp conditions from spring rain can lead to mould growth, which can also trigger allergies.

If you're experiencing symptoms like these, it’s important to have access to the right medication, whether that’s an antihistamine, nasal spray, or other prescription treatment to ease your symptoms.

With Our Sage Telehealth, you don’t have to wait days for an in-person GP appointment just to get relief from your allergy symptoms. You can quickly access an online consultation and get an e-script for allergy medication, making it easier to manage your symptoms in real time.
