I’m a hayfever sufferer. I haven’t always suffered from it but have lived with it for around half of my life. These days it starts early with the tree spores and continues
through into the autumn. At the moment it’s so bad that the inside of my ears itch (that is sooo aggravating). It’s bad in the mornings but once I pop a tablet it soon comes under manageable control.
I’ve tried many solutions over the years including steroid sprays up the nose which gave me blinding headaches and desensitisation injections pre season which didn’t work. I’ve settled on the tried and trusted piriton which many will complain knocks them out but which, for me, combines effective hayfeaver management with a mild mood altering property due to it’s dual use as an anti anxiety drug.
If you suffer from hayfever you’ll know what a money making rip off the cost of drugs can be. I used to take the low cost non-drowsy loratadine which can be bought for around 99 pence or more for a seven day (SEVEN DAY!!) supply in many supermarkets before returning to Piriton which is at least a months supply. I then moved to a generic piriton from our chemists (on a buy one get one half price basis) and then read about a website that would sell me generic Piriton at a cost slashing price. So now the monthly supply that would ordinarily cost me around three or more pounds now costs me 99 pence which is cheaper than a prescription. In case you are a fellow sufferer in the UK looking for a cost effective source then I get my blessed supply here. I’ve had no problems using them and can easily pay using Paypal if required.

Cutting the cost of Hayfever « Stuffem-Up the hill backwards
I took a wrong turn into the hayfever club last year but didn’t realise until this year that that’s what it was.
I found Zirtek worked for me but the cost really isn’t nice. Are the drugs you’re referring to here similar to Zirtek / Clarityn etc?
Hi- Well I basically take generic Piriton which works suits me due to effectiveness and fringe benefits. I am often zonked out on many hayfeaver tablets and the same id true of Piriton when I first take it but I seem to have adjusted to it. The website mentioned also does Zirtek and Clarityn. I have taken Loratadine without drowsiness in the past.

Don’t know if you’ve ever tried diphenhydramine hydrochloride, a first generation anti-histamine. These days it’s sold as Nytol (or Sleapeaze, in Boots in the UK) due to its sedative properties. It’s the most effective anti-histamine I’ve tried, though I’ve yet to try Piriton. Dosage is 1 x 50mg tablet every 4-6 hours, when necessary.
