Just an update re Desloratadine. It is the only effective antihistamine for me against horsefly bites. Hay fever season heralds horsefly season. I have a severe reaction often resulting in cellulitis. Loratadine is totally ineffective. But you are unable to get Desloratadine on prescription any more. NICE have taken it off their list, and it's impossible to get it over the counter. Having chatted with my local pharmacy it seems 100s if not 1000s of people in England and Wales have the same problem. My GP's solution is to prescribe loratadine and a course of antibiotics for when it develops into cellulitis - not the best solution, I know. So I have taken to asking anyone I know who goes abroad to see if they can get some for me. You can get Desloratadine over the counter at pharmacies in Lanzarote, for example.0

UK Online pharmacies seem to be offering them still. Probably worth it to avoid the painful cellulitis?1
