    2 Stars Loratadine - not really effective enough... Review with images 12/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Appears to work against symptoms due from dustmites.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Symptoms are still present when you're outdoors.

    What are they? *************** Medicinal tablets for treating hafever. What do they do? ******************* These tablets contain 10mg of the antihistamine Loratadine. These claim to help relieve the symptoms of hayfever , e.g. sneezing, runny nose, burning and itchy eyes. The tablets can also be used against allergies relating to pets, house dust mites, ras, itching and hives. These tablets also claim to be non-drowsy. How do I use them? ********************* These are only for oral consumption. One tablet to be taken daily at the first sign of allergic symptoms. The tablets are very small ... more

    4 Stars Boots Hayfever Relief 17/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, help a lot with hayfever

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I have a severe cat allergy and although these do help a bit, they don't completely work

    I've suffered badly with hayfever since I was little and although I usually treat this with piriton, I am not at all brand loyal. When it comes to basic things like pain or allergy relief, I usually opt for the cheapest option because let's face it, there are much more exciting things to spend money on! This is why I decided to try these hayfever and allergy relief tablets from Boots; at £4.49 for fourteen tablets, they're around 60 pence less than Piriton, which is a decent saving. Larger packs of 30 and 60 are also available. These are also currently on offer - buy one get one free, which I ... more

    4 Stars Pass the Tissues, please! 21/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very quick to act, cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Do not always provide long-lasting relief

    It's that time of year again...the dreaded hayfever season has finally arrived. In the past, I have suffered quite badly from hayfever, but few tablets seemed to relieve the main symptoms effectively. When I started getting symptoms the other day, I wanted a quick cure. Previously, I would have turned to major brands like Clarityn and Benadryl but as neither of these has worked that well for me in the past, I thought I would try an own brand instead. On this occasion, I opted for Boots own brand hayfever relief tablets. In my experience, own brands can be just as effective at relieving ... more

    4 Stars Boots Hayfever and Allergies 31/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages work well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages take a while to kick in and are a little expensive

    I seem to suffer hayfever quite bad throughout the spring and summer months, especially because I live in the country, my worst nightmare is when the farmers who live close to me start cutting the fields, however I have since found Boots Hayfever and Allergy tablets that make my symptoms a lot more manageable. To take these tablets you simply swallow one a day, they are really easy to swallow as they are tiny. I like to take these tablets at night time before I go to sleep as they are not the non-drowsy range, I have used the non-drowsy range before, but I found they left me feeling anxious ... more

    4 Stars Relief from watering eyes 07/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages relieve symptoms of hayfever

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you miss one, symptoms return fast

    I have had mild hayfever for the past couple of years, but this summer (if you can call it that), it has been particularly bad. I would still describe it as mild compared to how some people get it, but I've been suffering with streaming eyes and nose as well as sneezing fits when I get anywhere near a flower. Browsing the shelves at Boots, I noticed that their hayfever remedies were on a buy one get one free offer, so I picked up a couple of boxes. ~About the product~ Boots sell two own brand hayfever remedies - a regular one, which comes in an orange box, and a non-drowsy version which comes ... more

    4 Stars not to be sneezed at Review with images 19/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages non drowsy, one a day

    Disadvantages Disadvantages doesnt work for everyone

    My son has suffered from hayfever for a number of years and I have probably tried most of the childrens products available. This year as he is a little older I decided to find out which of the tablets were suitable for him as I am getting a little tired of messing about with oral syringes and sticky mixtures so off to Boots I went. I spoke to one of the healthcare assistants (wonderfully helpful people who can provide a vast amount of help without you having to speak to the pharmacists who are available but you usually have to wait a while). She went through his health in general, any other ... more
