Piriton anti-histhamine

Advantages: fast effective relief from allergy symptoms
Disadvantages: might make you sleepy when you first use them.

...itchy throat. My Mum recommended Piriton to me as she suffers from hayfever aswell. It is a general anti-histhamine, so it can be used to treat any sort of minor allergic reaction. When I first tried it, it made me so incredibly sleepy, I took two a day for about a week and I had built up a resistance to the sedative in them. They get to work in about 15-20 minutes, so it is best to take them sooner rather than later. i have used them for hayfever, ...
...after several years of having used them ( I asked the pharmacist and she said you can't build a resistance to the anti-histhamine, only the sedative ingredient). They are around £3.99 for 30 or £5.99 for 60, they are fantastic value and I don't know what I would do without them! ...

Review of Piriton Allergy Tablets

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. ...

Review of Dr Reddy Histease Allergy Relief Tablets Cetirizine Hydrochloride

Tesco Hayfever tablets

Advantages: Very cheap
Disadvantages: So sleep inducing I have wanted to cry all afternoon!

...But yesterday I was in Tesco and I noticed how cheap the hayfever relife tablets were and I picked them up without thinking as they were a whole 0.57p less than the Boots ones! I forgot to read the packet correctly and took one this morning without reading the tablets. I have had to nearly go home from work as they have made me so tired I thought I was going to fall asleep at my desk and I have had blurred vision for about two hours! It's been a ...
...tag, drugs affect people very differently depending on the person but they have not been great for me and I would rather have hayfever than feel this bad. However the price tag may make you want to test them and some people barely get droozy what so ever! I would take them when you are not at work as a test first. If they work you have found an excellent bargain. I will now go back to the Boots ones they are reasonably priced, always work and come ...
