Clinical Studies

A clinical trial was carried out in 11 general practices in Switzerland². The trial involved patients suffering from allergic rhinitis and/or hay fever for a period of at least two years and who were over the age of 18.

Allergy Relief spray was applied for 14 consecutive days, 3-5 times daily with 1-2 puffs into each nostril.

Patients had to fill out a diary recording the following symptoms: rhinorrhoea, nasal obstruction, sneezing attacks, pharyngeal irritation, coughing and irritated eyes.

A total of 63 patients with an average age of 33 years attended the trial which had been carried out from April until August.

Results:

• At the end of the treatment, the average symptoms which had been recorded in the diaries were reduced by 30-50%. In particular, the sneezing attacks and nasal congestion had improved significantly.
• The majority of patients experienced an improvement in their symptoms and approximately 12% of patients had noticed no change whatsoever.
• Upon completion of the study, 55% of patients rated the spray as excellent or good for efficacy. The treating physicians also shared this judgement.
• About 70% of patients would use the Allergy Relief spray again, thereby showing that the majority were satisfied with this treatment.
• Almost no side effects were reported and 90% of all users rated the tolerability as good or even excellent.

A clinical investigation was carried out in Netherland³. The investigation involved 199 patients, aged 34 years, suffering from seasonal allergies, allergies to dust and/or animals for a period of 9.5 years.

The patients had taken 2 tablets or 20 drops, 3 times daily before meals, from the beginning of April until the end of July.

Patients had to respond to the following criteria: “distinct improvement”, “partial improvement” and “no improvement” of allergy symptoms.

Results:

• 88.5% of patients had reported an improvement in their symptoms: - 56.8 % of patients reported a distinct improvement in their symptoms - 31.7% reported partial improvement.
• No side effects were reported.
