6 Months Supply Cetirizine Hayfever Allergy Tablets 30 x 6 [Total 180] - £4.79 @ Pharmacy First

I recently purchased this item and when it was delivered it wasn't cetirizine hydrochloride. They sent me Cetirizine dihydrochloride. I made a complaint and they have refused to refund me

If you suffer badly from hayfever I would really recommend Fexofenadine which is now available over the counter. It's more expensive at about £7/30 tablets but works much better than Loratadine or Cetrizine for me at least.

Previously every year I would need an inhaler mid-May to July, nose and eyes running, nose red raw from blowing it so much, sore mouth/throat, the whole lot. Since taking it I get mild cold symptoms but no more than that. 100% worth the money.

It always weirds me out that people treat the symptom and not the cause. My dog used to suffer and I just paid a few grand for immunotherapy for him when he was about 4 and it got rid of his allergies, he's almost 14 now and it never came back. People just should knock these drugs on the head and go seek treatment, the price it costs will be paid back seeing how you wont need to buy these drugs all the time and you'll be happier so you will want to work more.

After having my weekend at Download festival ruined by allergies, I took the plunge and got a Kenalog injection. Best £150 I've spent; my hayfever is severe and I'd say there's been about a 90% reduction in symptoms.

Do your own research into the risks and decide if it's worth it for you. For me, being able to breathe/generally function in the summer months outweighed those risks.

Every year, I try always alternative treatments to see if they help alleviate the symptoms. I find most of the antihistamines usually lose affect over time. Ive tried raw unpasteurised honey, quercetin, homeopathy, bee pollen tablets in winter etc non of those have worked for me. The only thing that Ive found affective for the last few years is taking probiotics that has reduced the symptoms considerably for me. I suffer from grass pollen. I also vary my diet from late spring to beginning of autumn to minimise diary, sugary and fizzy drinks - this was the advice from homeopathic clinician on the NHS many many years ago. It helped me so I thought Id share my findings based on my annual testing of different products.

In a humans case isn't Immunotherapy recommended for serious, life threatening allergies like bee or venom reactions? Not for hayfever, I accept some people can have very severe reactions but I would argue that not everyone can afford to "treat" the cause due to the costs charged by these immunotherapy clinics. Under £5 for 6 months relief is perhaps affordable when household incomes are so restricted. Also I'm at my happiest when not at work and spending time with my family, each to their own though.

Can try to Chinese therapy that stick some heated pad onto your skin in a specific area in some specific dates each year, itll took three year for the whole treatment to complete, i heard it works but i always miss the suitable date for treatments

@Gollywood let us know the expiry when you get them please

Currently I find benadryl works the best for me, but it's expensive. Would these be a suitable replacement?

I only just got allergies the past year so haven't been taking antihistamines for a long time. (edited)

UK is a medicated society...not at the level as US but still...we should start cleaning up our diets first..although it is hard in UK with rubbish vegetables and generally tasteless food...the proof that what we eat in UK is not good is the way people look...50% obese overweight / obese and the vast majority of "fit" people are skinny fat... if you dont believe me go to a swimming pool and you will see...

B&M at 79p for 30 days

Hot. When hayfever season starts 2 weeks of loratadine and ongoing steroid nasal spray keeps things under control except on a few days when nothing works
