    There's like a newer version or Zirtek out. Like Zirtek 2!

    It's non drowsy, and more effective. It's called Xyzal - not very common in shops!

    Ask GP for it!!


    Is it? I was recently prescribed Xyzal (Levocetirizine) and over a week later, I am still sneezing and continually using endless tissues!!!

    It's ironic that the UK developed a CURE for hayfever in the 1960s but due to it's misadministration causing a few deaths it was outlawed on these shores, yet still to this day is being used successfully in France :roll:

    I ordered on 21st June and still have nothing. They replied to my email saying that "all orders have been despatched"

    Not impressed either !

    I got through in the telpehone today to a very polite man. He said they have a backlog at the moment so are about a week behind. He also said a lot of orders have gone out in the last few days and I think he said they were up to order number 26xx or there abouts (but I may have got that bit wrong.

    Hopefully we should all get them soon :)

    I,ve just place my second order for Ceterizine and have ordered their loperamide (squits remedy) for holiday. Spoke to very nice man this time and got 5 packs in total for £4.95 bargainous.
    Last time were quick to deliver once they emailed checking who the tablets were for, ( a sign of a good pharmacist, in my opinion).

    I will add my recommendation for this chemist. I ordered some loratidine a few days ago, received an email asking who the meds were for (ordered 3 months supply at £4.47) and received the meds very quickly. Top marks from me. :)

    I ordered my hayfever tabs and paid on 21st June. Received email confirmation on 23rd that order was complete (which allegedly means they've been posted). Still waiting for my tablets to turn up. Emailed them twice with no response to either. Tried phoning numerous times, but it just goes through to a fax machine. Totally unimpressed and would never use them again. Had to go to chemist at the weekend and buy some more supplies!

    I am wondering if they have simply had too many orders at one time. I called on Friday as the order of the 23rd had not yet arrived, the ph9one was answered stright away and the gentleman sounded nice and genuine. He asked for the order number and told me that it would have gone a few days earler and apologised for the day. They had not arrived today so I e-mailed today (calling would have veen difficult today) was was told they had been sent out on Friday. Hopefully they wil arrive tomorrow.


    I am not worried about them not turning up, too many popele have had positive experiences, but it does sound like they have a backlog and may be a little steched in getting them sent out.
