That's quite expensive.
Why don't you buy them here?
(no connection and I haven't shopped round for best deal).
Note there will also be postage so best to buy in bulk.

These are cetirizine, so if you use loratadine, you'll have to look elsewhere, but you will find similar deals.

I bought lots from Chemist direct before - stocked up the medicine cabinet and saved a fortune on shop prices and they do have loratadine too as I got some on a deal (think it was 15p a pack!) They have them at 59p for 30 now. LINK

Yes, in Lloyds Pharmacy stores they sell them for the same price as online.

I stick with my tablets thanks - don't believe this works at all, a lot of studies have suggested it's a placebo effect.

Regardless, l also don't understand why people buy loratadine tablets, they've proven to be the most useless out of the 3: loratadine/cetirizine/acrivastine

The best for the whole day is: Cetrizine (long-lasting)
The best for immediate relief is: Acrivastine (short-lasting)

anyway whatever.

I have had one for a year with limited success, but this week it hasn't worked.Went to Tesco for own brand Loratidine - 99p for 14 tablets.

Agreed with you. I got it last year and didn't work well. Now, I am still suffering the hayfever and will buy some tablets tomorrow.:(

Actually, it does not guarantee it will work on you, although it works on others. However, it is no harm to try it as it is far much better than taking tablets.

tried it last year ( or wasit year before?). used it religiously as per instructions, but no joy. unfortunately most of the drugs aren't working either. have found that flixonasand benedryl (Acrivastine) are the only ones that work... only problem is that they are both really pricy becasue they are not out of patent yet
still hoping that my body might decide to find one of the cheaper ones is effective though...

started using it last week and so far looking positive. been using tablet, nasal spray and eye drops for years. and like u, flixonase has been my best friend! u can get a double dose (150 sprays) presciption from your gp. and have not taken any tablet so far. so finger x for that.
