...usual hayfever medication which includes Opticrom eyedrops, Rhinocourt nasal spray and Triludan tablets.

Review of Opticrom Allergy Eye Drops

Quick allergy relief

Advantages: cheapest available, instant action, no side effects
Disadvantages: only available in small packs

I've only been suffering from hayfever in the last couple of years, and am lucky enough to not suffer from any other allergies. My symptoms for hayfever are pretty standard - itchy/watery eyes, runny nose, headaches and sneezes. It's not so bad that I feel awful with it, but the symptoms are very irritating - so I try to manage them. So, I can only comment on how these tablets affected me & not how they would work for someone that has a more severe ...
...price of hayfever and allergy tablets on the expensive side, and when they come in packs of 7 or 14 and you need to take a tablet a day, this can soon mount up. This is why I tried Tesco's own version, as it was the cheapest option available at the time. These also come in packs of 7 and 14, I always opt for the larger packs as they provide better value for money. The tablets come in a plastic tray with foil covering, inside a cardboard box. There ...

Review of Tesco Non-Drowsy Hayfever and Allergy Relief

Clarityn is the only cure which does not cause drowsiness.

Advantages: Stop factors which triggers the allergy, provides relief, does not cause drowsiness
Disadvantages: should not be used by pregnant women and children under 2 years of age,other possible side effects

Clarityn Allergy tablets, in my opinion, should be highly recommended to hayfever and allergy sufferers. Clarityn contains loratadine which was a drug used to cure allergies and stop which triggers it. I am an allergy sufferer too. Clarityn, for us allergy sufferers, makes our life more easier. Because unlike other allergy medicines, Clarityn does not cause drowsiness. I can still continue what I am doing without being disturbed by the loratadine. ...
...also has its disadvantages. First, Clarityn should not be used by mothers who are pregnant and breastfeeding and by children who are under two years of age. Second, even though it does not cause drowsiness, it also has other possible side effects. My friend used it, and she has a headache after taking it. Doctors said that its a possible side effect of the drug, but it is not that dangerous, though. ...

...Since I first tried Sainsbury's havefever and allergy relief tablets, I have never bought any of the higher priced brands as I feel that they all do the same job in the same time, so why pay more, just for the brand name?

Clarityn Alergy Tablets

Advantages: Does the job
Disadvantages: Won't be a miracle cure

Hayfever suffers, read on now. Those who aren't...you are lucky, lucky people! This is Clarityn, another one of those 'miracle cures', that will suspend the agony of hayfever for up to 24 hours to help give your sinuses a break. It's suitable for other allergies as well, such as airborne allergies like house dust mites or pet irritations. It can also help prevent the spread and heal skin conditions such as rashes, itching and urticaria - otherwise ...
...packaging, with very little surrounding the box. An illustrated picture of what appears to be grass and pollen is found in the bottom right hand corner, but other than that it's just text-based. 7 tablets come in each packet, all of which are small, white tablets which come in the usual metallic packaging, intriguingly spread around the metallic case at random, but I suppose that's what you get for having 7 in a pack, rather than a sane, even number. ...
