Hayfever - no more tablets and eye drops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
