What is the best time of day to take hay fever medication?
The best time to take hay fever medication is first thing in the morning for most people, as this allows it to start working before pollen levels rise later in the day. However, taking it in the evening may suit some people better if their symptoms are worse at night. Always take it at the same time each day for the best results.
Key points:
- Morning dosing gets ahead of peak pollen times for all-day relief.
- Evening dosing helps if symptoms disrupt sleep.
- Most tablets last 24 hours when timed right.
- Match timing to your worst symptom times.
