    I don't have access to that, but the patient leaflets here:

    http://www.patient.co.uk/medicine/Cetirizine.htm
    http://www.patient.co.uk/medicine/Loratadine.htm

    describe drowsiness as a common (affects less than 1 in 10 people) side-effect of cetirizine, but only a rare side-effect of loratadine. So I guess there's just a higher chance of drowsiness with the cetirizine.

    Are they just for Hayfever or will they suit a multitude of allergies?

    Do you need hayfever tablets for November December January etc?? ;)

    or for that matter June July August in the UK?? :D


    I know your half joking but with diffrent kinds of pollen at diffrent times of the year affecting diffrent people I do take them through the year even if not every day.

    I'm not keen on taking tablets and I do think your body needs a break sometimes but I do take them as soon as if feel symtoms coming on or if I'm planning to travel or want to be sure I won't be sneezing all day.

    Great offer! :T

    I use them when I expect to come into contact with cats too! My face itches and my eyes swell. Not a good look :)
