The following company has amended their advertising following MHRA action on complaints to ensure the Prescription-Only Medicines (POM) Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide, sometimes identifiable as “hayfever/anti-allergy injection”) is not promoted to the public for the treatment of hayfever. Promotion of any POM to the general public is prohibited in the UK. Furthermore, Kenalog is not a licensed treatment for hayfever.
