The following companies have amended their advertising following MHRA action on complaints to ensure the Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide) 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.
