sorted bySome people might not notice the difference but if i take the Cetirizine dihydrochloride one i get affected badly by it's drowsiness side effect. Only takes about 30 minutes before I'm drooling on myself 🤤
Loratadine however I'm fine with.
Supermarkets own branded hayfever tablets are less than £1
It's usually £2.95 for a 30 pack own label in my local Tesco.
Look for the active ingredient and product licence number to check it's licenced in the UK or EEA.
Gave you heat Op 😜
All antihistamines work... You just need to keep on taking them regularly to feel the full benefit. The same day effects are quite mild but the key is to keep taking them and within a week you'll be much better. Don't forget to keep taking when your symptoms are better. I started about a month ago and have to take till the end of autumn. Some individuals seem more sensitive to some over others. personally I buy different types as they won't sell me over a certain amount of each and to save on delivery costs. Cetirizine and Loratadine are the cheapest commonly available ones. Fexofenadine may be marginally more effective per tablet but I think you still need a script for this and as long as you take the meds regularly you'll almost certainly not need it over the ones above. Chlorphenamine is the most easily available for kids. It's slightly more sedating as crosses the blood brain barrier more readily. All liquid brands I've tried taste foul despite the sweeteners so your kids will probably prefer tablets as soon as they can swallow them (you might try wrapping them in a ball of bread wettened with water).

I also buy beclometasone based nasal sprays (steroids are best for nasal/ itchy throat symptoms but try and use sparingly to minimise systemic absorption, nose bleeds, halitosis etc) and sodium cromoglycate based eye drops (sadly they all sting these days as they have a lot of salt in them as a preservative) as I have truly atrocious allergies. I once got allergy testing done and even reacted to the control (salt water).

Don't bother with homeopathic ones, decongestants or honey (bee spread pollens are too big to trigger allergies so it doesn't make sense even, that's why most people are allergic to airborne pollen such as grass and tree). There's a decent podcast from Sliced Bread on BBC Sounds if people want a bit (but not too much) extra info
Avoid kenalog (steroids) injections as although they do work they have serious potential side effects. Or ignore and buy from your local dodgy Botox place/ private practitioner.
Use any UK online pharmacy (if they'll sell you Viagra without a script then avoid). Personally I've used these guys and pharmacy first so would recommend either. The tablets are cheaper in bulk eg here for 360: chemist-4-u.com/cet…wcB
They usually have a best before of a couple of years in my experience. Great if sharing with family members to save on delivery
Delivery is free above £30
Don't hassle the NHS about allergy testing as if you have bad hay fever you'll almost certainly be allergic to a range of allergens so they're impossible to avoid and the treatment is almost always the same. Plus they're busy enough coping with the ridiculous waits for anything else.
I hope this helps (edited)
I echo the advice to give all tablets a proper chance to work. It takes them weeks to get in my system properly for the new season, depending on the seasons themselves. I usually start in February but as the seasons continually get later, I comfortably got away with March this year. My tip is to start taking them BEFORE experiencing any symptoms, otherwise you could end up suffering for a few weeks and thinking the tablets don't work, when really they just needed starting earlier.
Another tip if you have kids is being aware that from 6 years old, children can take cetirizine (half a tablet, twice a day). We found this a god send. Not only did it save us a fortune vs Piriton (Chlorphenamine) but it's more effective and less drowsy. The only caveat of course, is whether your kids take to swallowing half tablet with water or not! Ours loved it because we billed it as taking 'grown up hayfever medicine'.

But last month order (Paid £4.68), I've received different brand in new packaging. I rang Amazon and received a refund.
The brand name Clarityn is like £7 though.
I used Triludan Forte back in the day and it worked 100% but it did make some people drop dead.
