Hayfever - no more tablets and eye drops.

[Nile]

At the time of writing (2nd February) hayfever won't be on your mind but if you're a sufferer there is a product which will help with your symptoms.

Hayfever sufferers will know the misery of itchy eyes and a streaming nose, like having a heavy cold for weeks on end. If you're reluctant to take steroids or antihistamines due to their side effects, try Nasaleze spray. It costs ~£10.

The spray is a unique form of powdered starch which turns into a protective gel coating when it's sprayed into the nose.

Within seconds of spraying with Nasaleze your symptoms will subside.........your eyes stop itching and your nose stops running.

Have a look at the www.nasaleze.com website for further details.

I am not connected to this company.

[ravenlooney]

OK, this isnt 'no more tablets' , but another excellent safe remedy is New Era homeopathic tissue salts. My GP and the ENT consultant at the hospital wanted my (then 9yo) son to take a steroid nose spray every day for the rest of his life(?) as he has really bad allergic rhinitis. Everything makes him sniff and run and hayfever makes it much worse! No way was my son getting steroids every day!!!! My homeopath recommended these tissue salts. I get them from Boots, theyre about £3 ish IIRC, safe with no side effects! oh and they work!

[Glad]

have you tried this product yourself Nile?


my Dad has suffered every year with hayfever and I'd love to find him something to help

[Nile]

No, I haven't tried the Nasaleze product myself.

I know three people who have extreme hay fever symptoms, which are not controlled by tablets or eye drops etc. These people used the Nasaleze product during the hayfever season last year and gave very positive feedback.

One lady, whose life has been blighted for years, told me that the first time she used Nasaleze it immediately stopped her nose streaming and her eyes itching. She continued using Nasaleze for the rest of the season and dropped all other hayfever medication. She is delighted with Nasaleze.

Based on their experiences, I can recommend this product.

I would be very interested in feedback from users. It would be good to hear your views on how your hayfever symptoms were affected, if you've used the Nasaleze spray.

[Yoga Girl]

I usually get hay-fever tablets from the GP on presciption ( works out cheaper than buying the strong ones I need from over the counter) however when I was pregnant I coudn't take them, however I did try a product called Quercetin from the health shop. It worked really well, but wasn't that cheap - £13 for 50 tablets. Made by Solgar.

[minap]

Do all these prducts mentioned work for dustmite allergy.

:eek:

[Ted_Hutchinson]

Do all these prducts mentioned work for dustmite allergy.
:eek:

Netdoctor item on Housedust mites and summary of medical treatments (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health_advice/facts/allergyhousedustmite.htm)
The above article doesn't include Nasaleze as a treatment for dustmite allergy but the Nasaleze website does mention dustmites and the logic of the arguement presented on that website seems to make sense to me. What is more they offer a money back guarantee so why not give it a try?

I have severe hayfever and current take Rhinocort, a steriod nose spray, and clarityn for eyes during high summer. For years I resisted a steriod nose spray. Clarityn and Zirtec didn't work for me just gave me a blocked nose but if it does work for you Tesco are now selling the generic version of both these products for 99p for 7 tablets. That is cheaper than 1 months supply on prescription.

Over the years I have tried many remedies from the Health store including New Era - none of them worked for me. I also embarked on a course of Accupunture. £150 later and I was still suffering. I was really getting desperate as I constantly had infected sinuses with swelling around my face, high temperature and headaches. I couldn't sleep at night as I was totally blocked up.

A friend recommended Rhinocort which is only available on prescription. I asked a Pharmacist and was told the amount of steriod in each spray was minute so I asked Doctor to prescribe. I have to say it has changed my life - not just during hayfever season but all year. I only take it during the hayfever season but now I never get more than 1 cold a winter and rarely flu. Its only now that my nose is clear I realise how bad it had been all year as it was so inflamed after taking a hammering in the summer.

I recommend talking to a pharmacist if you are concerned about any drugs. They will give you straight answers and will tell you whether they would take or give to their kids.

[Ted_Hutchinson]

A friend recommended Rhinocort which is only available on prescription.


There is fundamental difference though between treating the cause and treating the symptoms. The point about Nasaleze is that it isn't a drug but works by forming an invisible, gel like mucus lining in the nasal tract, that acts as a filter.

I'm not giving a personal recommendation or medical advice, I just don't want other readers to be confused about the nature of nasaleze (http://www.nasaleze.com/about.html) which is a barrier to avoid sensitive areas of the body coming into contact with the allergen rather than a medical compound which enters the body and alters the reaction to the allergen.

[fuglyjowls]

Another product worth trying is Haymax - this was a new product last year and I was asked to take part in a trial of it. It is a simple product to us and it contains homeopathic stuff and is completely natural. It worked for me so I would recommend giving it a go.

I get hayfever every year and its a pain.

There are heaps of antihistamines for sale over the counter. I wouldn't bother buying the branded ones (like Piriton etc...) just buy the active ingredient in your favourtie antihistamine (eg chlorpheniramine 4mg for piriton), Boots own brand is cheap, but there are cheaper - ask the pharmacist.

If you get hayfever bad then see you GP because they can prescribe a months worth at a time (28tablets at just over £6) which is a lot cheaper than buying them over the counter.

See my earlier post if you live in England cheaper to buy a months supply in Tesco's @ £4 for 28 tablets.

If you live in Wales and are under 25 - Free prescriptions
If you live in Wales and are over 25 - £4 per item on prescription until 2007 then free :)

[Sterling_geezer]

Crikey thats cheap! Right I'm off to tesco's to stock up before summer!

Thanks for that.

[jellyhead]

my hayfever started in feb this year and it's affecting my asthma. is anything safe during pregnancy? the gp wouldn't even look it up and just refused but i read in prima that there are safe antihistamines during pregnancy but it didn't say which ones. mother in law reckons my asthma is worse for the baby than taking antihistamine would be, on bad days i crawl, can't walk, i'm far too breathless to get my son to and from school, can't go to work, can't make my own food, i just sit around struggling to breathe and the baby goes insane, kicking really violently, this can't be good for him, but is anthistamine worse? when i can breathe normally he barely moves so the violent kicking really does worry me, is he getting enough oxygen? my gp said i was being anxious, basically said i'm having panic attacks but i've never been the panicky type, it's definitely hayfever.

[Sterling_geezer]

I think the rules of this forum forbid me from giving you a specific reply, but I would suggest you ask your Midwife for advice, if your GP is being unhelpful then she can refer you to the obstitrician at the hospital for advice.

Sterling.

[Poppy9]

One of my sisters developed severe Asthma while pregnant I'm sure she had an inhaler. It stayed with her until her son was about 8 months old and then completely disappeared.

A friend who suffered from hayfever didn't take anything during pregnancy as she was told it wasn't safe. Her symtoms didn't include asthma though just the streaming eyes and nose.

If you are really struggling, and it sounds as if you are, either try to see another GP in your practice (if there is one) or go to A&E during an attack. Do you have any friends with Asthma who have been pregnant? Ask them if they continued using inhalers. It may be they treat the symtoms not the cause.

There may some info of use here.

Asthmas & Allergy info (http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~aair/asthma_preg.htm)

[jellyhead]

thanks for the replies :-) i'm using my inhalers but they don't touch the breathlessness really, it's not constant, usually comes in 2 or 3 bursts a day. i get it every year and antihistamine gets rid of it. i'm sure i took it during my last pregnancy 9 years ago, along with steroids, etc. i will ask the midwife about it. hubby has said he's taking me to A&E during my next attack but luckily it didn't happen yesterday, maybe if it doesn't happen today i can go to work tomorrow, perhaps the main cause of it has stopped growing :-)

[Helen Kelly]

I suffer terribly from hayfever and understand absolutely the misery of streaming eyes and runny nose. I'm always on the look-out for something that works and try pretty much anything usually with minimal success.

However, I recently came across a natural remedy (in Easy Gardening magazine) and ordered some online. The day it arrived I was suffering and tried it immediately, to my surprise it WORKED !! It's called Haymax and you can find it at www.haymax.biz (http://www.haymax.biz) (even better it only cost me about £5 :T )

[max2002ad]

If you are concerned about hayfever medication and pregnancy i would suggest speaking to your pharmacist. They will always be available to give you advice.
Nasaleze is not a particularly new concept, there have been products like this for donkeys years and most of them have come and gone in a puff of smoke.
Try it if you like but with hayfever like everything there is not one thing that will solve the problem it's a whole selection of things that you can do that will prove sucessful.

[Sam_26]

As with my offering last year to MSE readers, in conjunction with our pharmacy, we would like to offer hayfever sufferers the following mail order offer (as authorized by Martin last year), which should be the cheapest on the high street:

Cetirzine 10mg Tablets x 30 £2.99 (same active ingredient as Zirtek/Benadryl)
Loratidine 10mg Tablets x 30 £2.99 (same active ingredient as Clarityn)
Chlorphenamine 4mg Tablets x 30 £1.99 (same active ingredient as Piriton)
Beclomethasone Nasal Spray 200 Dose £3.99 (same active ingredient as Beconase)
Flixonase Nasal Spray 60 dose £5.49 (No loss of patent, but very good)

Please contact North Meols Pharmacy on 01704 227075, where you will be asked questions about your medical history and condition to check you can safely take these medicines.

We normally ask for a minimum purchase of £5 via credit card or readers are welcome to post cheques or cash (at own risk).

Last year, this was very successful with MSE readers and we have been asked by people who kept our number from last year to repost.

We will donate 25p from every transaction to our local charity as a gesture of our goodwill this year and if we are overpriced in any fashion, we will aim to price match, but we are very sure we have the lowest UK prices.

[Nile]

If you have a Morrisons Supermarket near you, they are selling the Nasaleze product at £6.95.

This is much cheaper than buying from the Nasaleze website at ~£10 each.:cool:

[Poppy9]

Wilkinsons have the following on BOGOF

Loratidine 10mg pack 7 Tablets £1.49

Cetirzine 10mg pack 7 Tablets £1.49

They are not their own make product which retail for 99p for 7 tablets. Obviously the BOGOF works out cheaper thought as you get 14 tablets for £1.49.

[flu_gal]

Don't know if this is the right place to post this.
I always use Opticrom eye drops for my itchy eyes due to hayfever but recently Boots has had problems getting them and I was recommended Boots own Hayfever relief eye drops which contains the same ingredients. Glad to say that after using it for a week, it does work as well as Opticrom and also much cheaper.
I also smear vaseline around my nostrils and eyes when the pollen counts are high. Seems to work though it is a bit uncomfortable with the sticky shiny vaseline on your face.

[Poppy9]

I have used Opticrom but found Clarityn Eyes better. Pharmacist in Superdrug recommended Superdrug Allergy eyes (£3.49) and they are superb. With Opticrom I was applying 3 or 4 times a day with these Allergy Eyes just once.

[pavlovs_dog]

another thing i've been told as well - eat local honey, as it will contain local pollen and therefore help you build up a resistance.

i've been eating a lot mor honey this year, and my hayfever hasnt been half as bad. dont know whether the honey has helped or whether its just a placebo, but either way, im (touch wood) not sufffering as badly as i have done in previous years.

[Nile]

If you see me with a tell tale white residue under my nose:rolleyes: ...........it isn't illegal drugs honest. I've just tried the Nasaleze product for myself, after telling you all how good it is.


So........it leaves a bit of a white powdery residue up your nostrils for a few moments but otherwise I have nothing but praise for this product.

I was sneezing excessively on Saturday morning so decided to buy Nazaleze from a Superdrug store. I stood outside the store and squirted the powder up my nose (I ignored the stares).........and waited to see what happened. It was the next day before I sneezed again or needed to blow my nose.
If you take hay fever tablets or capsules which make you drowsy and only last a couple of hours..........try Nasaleze.

[tom and barbara good]

I have heard that local honey will help with hayfever symptoms, has anyone tried this, did it work? also, how local does the honey have to be? 5 miles, 10 miles, less?

Thanks in advance

whats cheapest hayfever medicine and where from?

[Bossyboots]

whats cheapest hayfever medicine and where from?

Boots were doing BOGOF last weekend on their own branded tablets which are the same as Clarytin.

If you don't use that, we have worked out that it is cheaper to get a prescription from the doctor as a months supply of Zirtec on prescription is £6.40 which is considerably less than buying it over the counter. If you can persuade the doc to put 3x on the prescription, it is even cheaper.

I always try to help people on these MSE boards. I have been a registered member of this site for a long time and hope that I have gained a reputation for honesty and helping others.

I am only trying to help other Hayfever sufferers. I've found something that works, yet doesn't cause drowsiness.

Why don't you try it yourself and see if it helps your symptoms?

[Squidgy]

what do you have to do with it?

I don't get hayfever, but hubby does really badly.

I've heard that putting a smear of vaseline under your nose helps stop the pollen getting in (and hey it can't look that bad esp if your eyes are all sore and red - who will notice!)

[Gingham Ribbon]

I got some relief from nasal symptoms by putting vaseline in my nose, but it obviously didn't help with itchy eyes.

last weekend my daughter started suffering with hayfever and couldn't wear her contact lenses, her glasses were away having new lenses fitted and she was really fed up, her sight is pretty bad,
so I bought her nasaleze (they sell it in boots now £5.65) and it has helped so much,
this weekend she is miles better and says to say
Thank-you very much for the tip nile :T

[PhilCCFC]

I suffer quite strong hayfever symptoms so I thought I would give Nasaleze a go and whilst it's not a miracle cure it certainly has help me through the last couple of weeks. I had to continue using my tablets as well although the use of eye drops and other hayfever products has now ceased.

We went to a wedding on Saturday which was outdoors, I used my tablet and Nasaleze and they lasted until around 11pm before I had to grab for the nasal spray. :j

One word of warning though, snort it carefully ! The first few goes nearly blew the back out of my throat :rotfl:

[Nile]

I'm pleased to hear that it's helped people.

[Stumpy]

One word of warning though, snort it carefully ! The first few goes nearly blew the back out of my throat :rotfl:

I'm glad I'm not the only one - only I still don't seem to have got it right. I always either end up swallowing the stuff (not nice!) or not getting any out at all. Could do with a little gizmo on the top to give out the right amount at the right speed!

:D I quickly decided that snorting whilst you squeeze the container is not good practise as it gave me a :eek: feeling, so I squeeze the container remove it and then snort...still get a hit at the back of the throat but not as bad as the first couple of times I used it.

Has anyone found a cheap Nasaleze this year yet?

[Jolsa]

Went into Broadmead (Bristol) today to buy this, £6.95 in Boots but £2.99 in Superdrug! I headed for the till but went back just to check I had seen right, and it was. Over 50% less than anywhere else I've seen.

Just to clarify this is the 500mg bottle.

Have no idea if this price is nationwide, but if you're in Bristol...

The main Superdrug in Bristol were selling this at £2.99, and then on a bogof deal! No surprises that they've sold out, but the word now, is that it's being discontinued at the store :-(

Strange decision when it's been selling out, and they say they've had people asking for it.

It just doesn't seem right having to go to Boots and pay £6.95 for it!

[lisyloo]

Nasaleze is available here for £5.99.

They also do generic versions of hayfever tablets very cheaply.

I am going to try Nasaleze as my eyes are very itchy and I'm allergic to eye drops.

Found Nasaleze priced £2.99 at my local Superdrug at the weekend. Asked the girl to check if they were on bogof as I had seen them as such in the city centre Superdrug, and they were! :-) 2 for £2.99!

[scope]

I went to Superdrug, Boots, Somerfield, Tesco and Waitrose today to buy one (perhaps not at 2.99 for 2, but).. NONE of them even stocked it.. I might have to buy one online now to give it a try.

If anybody living next to a superdrug with "2.99 for 2" offer on are willing to buy some and post me I would be greatful.. I will ofcourse cover any postage. :-)

Question on Nasaleze - what kind of starch is it? Corn, maize, wheat? Does it say? I'm wondering if it's suitable for the gluten-intolerant.

I love the post about snogs helping hayfever - will be showing that to OH :T

Has anyone noticed that their hayfever has been particularly bad this year?

All the sufferers I know in Kent are saying its much worse than they remember it being for years - me included.

I'm taking Piriton (though will try an own brand with same active ingrediant), Beconase, local honey & Echinacea.

Fingers crossed it works!

I'm in East London and my hayfever is less this year - I guess my system has got used to pollution so pollen is a doddle now!

Not sure if already been mentioned as not read whole thread,but a cheap and effective way to treat hayfever is taking honey produced locally,this contains all the local pollens and will de-sensitise,therefore easing hayfever,it must be LOCAL honey normally sold in farm shops.

I'm in NW Kent and mine has been really bad this year. Normally I can get away with only a packet of tissues.

I have been taking Galpharms loratadine from poundland (but i think it can be got cheaper) and it has been very good. Brought Beconase the other day but can't really get the hang of it.

What does Echinacea do and where do you get your honey from?

[bluekp]

Katgoddess,

Echinacea is a natural remedy which is known to boost the immune system and also to reduce inflammation of the mucas membranes - hayfever is so bad this year that anything is worth a go!

I got my honey from a farm shop in Goudhurst, but I would guess that you can probably buy it in garden centres and similar places.

[Mumstheword]

This year, I have used a homeopathic remedy called nux vomica. sounds lovely doesnt it! The advice given to me was to take one every 30 minutes for relief of acute symptoms, then 2 per day. i started this about 2 months ago and noticed an improvement the first day, and havent taken anything at all for the last few weeks! (except for one day, when i needed a 'booster' of one tablet)

I also took nettle leaf extract, in liquid form, but I really think it's the nux vomica that helped, because I kept forgetting the nettle juice!

I have no idea of the pollen count over the past few weeks as I havent been affected...maybe it's low anyway and just coincidence, but I definitely noticed an improvement.

Scary!!!

[Mumstheword]

Haha, yeah Stumpy, it is scary when you read about some of these things!

Quite a few of the homeopathic remedies are poisons. But they are used inminute quantites. I'm no expert, but suspect that it works by making your body produce a 'cure' for it, thus curing your symptoms too. In a similar way to vaccinations which are tiny live doses of the disease themselves.

Anyway, having tried it, I'm convinced! Don't try anything you aren't happy with though!

[makintracks]

any natural remedies?

I have in the past tried a few different ones -

Luffa Complex (Tincture)
Eyebright (eye symptoms) (Tincture)
Local honey

and possibly one or two others I can not recall just now. The first year I tried alternative therapies I used a combo of 3 products (Luffa, Eyebright and something else I forgot the name of). This worked very well and I came through the season without any medication. However, it was expensive (I bought the Bioforce products from a local health store) and hard work as some of the products had to be taken 3 times per day.

The following year I was too lazy to take all this wonderful stuff, but felt that my symptoms were much reduced. I took regular medications for the short period that I couldn't bear the pollens.

The following year I tried the local honey option, but as I could only buy it in the comb and do not have much of a sweet tooth, I didn't take enough to know whether this would have worked for me.

Most recently I read about Stinging Nettle and decided to give it a go. I started taking it in April and I was very impressed at how well it worked. It was middle of June before I started to feel a little discomfort and I have just now decided to buy some medication to help me through the toughest period. My husband has also been taking it and does not feel the need to resort to any additional medication - he is a hard man to impress, but it certainly is working for him.

Althought the tincures are generally expensive (especially Bioforce products) I have found a good organic local supplier that produces good quality Stinging Nettle (and loads of other stuff) at half the price of the Bioforce product. If you are interested, they are here -

http://www.fullspectrum.org.uk/displayprods.asp?qid=1&qdbquery=searchprodbycat&qtitle=Herbal+Tinctures+Organic

Stinging Nettle does not help with eye symptoms though.

HTH

PS: I am not affiliated to the abovementioned company in any way and found them on the web after researching cheaper options for tinctures.

In the past I have had awful hayfever. Nothing helped. I took steroid sprays, eye drops, at one point I was taking 4-5 tablets a day and still could hardly breathe. I would have to have days and days off work, and when at work my colleagues had to do most of the stuff for me as I couldn't do sterile procedures as I was sneezing on everything!

At the beginning of this year I went for a series of injection at the hospital. It's called desensitization therapy and can be done against dust mite allergy/ bee alergy and other things as well.

I had to have 4 injections - one a week. But I am told that next year I shouldn't have to take anything. Sometimes if you're really bad you need to have injections two years running and i was speaking so some people going there for their second year. They said it was amazing, and that their symptoms had decreased dramatically.

This year I still had to take tablets and one weekend i was worse than ever but I think this may be due to the pollen season starting particularly early before i had chance to build up proper immunity.

If hayfever ruins your life, it might be worth asking the doctor about these injections. You need to have them between december and february
