Cheap places to buy Allevia / Fexafenadine

Indie_Kid

I've only seen it sold as Allevia and never just under the brand name. It's the only thing that helps my hayfever but it's not cheap!

I usually buy it in Boots. But is there anywhere cheaper to buy it?

Have a look at the online chemists. You need to check them out to work out which are reputable and which aren’t but I’ve bought from some of them before now with no issues.

Cheapest is prescription if you live in a country with no prescription charges or you already do prepayment. Otherwise I've seen deals on and off at Boots and Tesco, usually 3 for 2, I'd expect more deals soon with hayfever season picking up.

OTC Fexofenadine is lower dose than Prescription (120mg cf 180mg I think).  So a Doctor's script may be the ideal.

Allevia, Treathay and Histallay are "brands" and Teva do it under the Generic name.

It's ever so easy to find via Google, Bing on any other search engine.

Think I saw Treathay in Home Bargains today... no idea on price or if 10s rather than 30s packs.

I was prescribed the 180mg by my GP but however they refused to put it on repeat and told me to buy it myself.

When I found the 120mg wasn't as effective, the GP was happy for me to take 2 of the 120mg a day. This does become expensive though, especially when buying yourself.

If you think you need more than 120mg and the GP won't give you a prescription, check with your GP if they are ok with you taking more than 1 tablet a day. If your GP isn't keen, please come back and report on this thread.

I get my Allevia from Amazon. I used to get the 70 tablet product but that involved 10 boxes. I now get a 1 month pack.

There are some online pharmacies that appear to offer the 180mg without prescription, subject to filling in a questionnaire for them to do their due diligence before dispensing.  (None of them are *cheap* though, really.)

Probably a small box of 7/10/14 at that price.
