    We at chemist-4-u are happy to repeat the offer from last year, but prior to easter would appreciate feedback on the types of hayfever products customers would like, prices and volumes that would be appreciated!

    How about any fexofenadine products? I had them from the doc last year and they are marvellous

    Unfortunately fexofenadine (Telfast) is still prescription only and must be obtained from your GP.

    Hi my son and wife suffer rom hay fever, we did get our local G P to sign up my son for a script for piriton and neoclariton, which costs us nothing as children do not pay for scripts, hence we all share the medication and use it as and when required. Bit naughty:rolleyes: but it is free:D

    You need to be very careful if taking prescription medication that has not been prescribed for you.

    There can be interactions between medicines.
    For example some medicines stop the pill working and it's obviously important that the patient knows that.
    A worse case scenario could result in allergic reaction or even death.

    I'm sure you think what you are doing is OK, but be careful if you are taking any other medication or have any other conditions which might make the medicine unsuitable for you.

    The medical profession would strongly advise against what you are doing for the above reasons.

    This is very true, I think I'm right in saying that one of the allergy tablets that is no longer used could actually cause a reaction that could kill you if you took it and drank grapefruit juice!

    Thanks but I believe this is only 7 tablets.
    You can get them much cheaper from https://www.chemist-4-u.com in 30 sizes (and many of us need them for several months over the summer).

    No connection execpt satisfied customer.

    P.S. not everything is cheaper at this site. Flixonase is cheaper on prescription. Be careful to compare sizes of packs.

    Forgive me if this has been posted before but someone told me the other day that if you buy honey from your local area then it will contain the pollen from the plants in the region and will help build up antibodies in your system. Apparently people have tried this and it does help.
