    I don't buy drugs anymore I have bought one of those medinose off ebay. They are amazing. They fire light up your nose and the hayfever just goes. They are quite expensive £80 but nearly half price on ebay. I made this guy an offer of £47.98 and he accepted it. The item number is 220109044787.

    I used to spend well over £150 per year on tablets.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers

    I see the 500 Piriton price at chemist-4-u.com is up to £9.90. It might be worth trying your local Boots. They also have this size (and they may be slightly cheaper) but only if you ask at the Pharmacy.

    Hi guys I work in a pharmacy and i recommened generic all the time. However i couldn't see an alternative for piriton on this post. Cetirizine and loratidine are all well and good but they are the non drowsy version of hayfever tablets. These very often aren't the best and for the majority of the people piriton doesnt make you drowsy.

    The generic name for piriton is chlorphenamine.

    While we are on the subject of generics theres a cheaper version of immodium in my chemist which is diaquitte but its generic name is loperamide hydrochloride.

    By the way please feel contact me if you want any other cheaper version tablets :money: ;)
    any tips for student money saving greatly appreciated:money: :beer:
  • Yamoa Powder sounds great. But does anyone know of any adverse reactions to other medications please? Particularly steroids, antiinflammatories and medicine for Osteoporosis.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    apologies if this has been asked, but I'm sure there was a link to something which said which of the 2 ingredients did what? Not too sure which tablets I need.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've used the Galpharm tablets in the past; they seem to work but I'm not a fan of taking pills regularly. I'll definitely try the honey ...but is it ok to get supermarket stuff or does it have to be locally sourced?

    One thing that is natural and really helps me is Sinose from Salcura. It made me sneeze more at first, but after I'd had a 'clear out' - it really helped! ...Also with my rhinitis (I'm allergic to house dust too :( )

    I bought some for my dad as he needs it as he reacts badly to wasp stings.
