Advantages: Does the job

Disadvantages: Won't be a miracle cure

Hayfever suffers, read on now. Those who aren't...you are lucky, lucky people!

This is Clarityn, another one of those 'miracle cures', that will suspend the agony of hayfever for up to 24 hours to help give your sinuses a break. It's suitable for other allergies as well, such as airborne allergies like house dust mites or pet irritations. It can also help prevent the spread and heal skin conditions such as rashes, itching and urticaria - otherwise known as hives.

The product comes in dark blue packaging, with very little surrounding the box. An illustrated picture of what appears to be grass and pollen is found in the bottom right hand corner, but other than that it's just text-based.

7 tablets come in each packet, all of which are small, white tablets which come in the usual metallic packaging, intriguingly spread around the metallic case at random, but I suppose that's what you get for having 7 in a pack, rather than a sane, even number.

Each tablet contains loratadine 10mg, which is the main component to help combat allergies. Now, clearly I'm no scientist, so can't exactly tell you what this does, but it seems to work as it's a type of medicine called a non-sedating antihistamine. Job done then!

Only one tablet per day is required for adults and children over the age of two who, importantly, weigh more than 30kg. With 7 in each packet, there's your weeks allowance right there. Convenient, but invariably you may need to buy more. The directions on the back of the packet state if you have a severe liver problem, you may need to take one tablet every other day, and obviously do not give to children under the age of two years.

Other, kind of obvious information is stated on the packet, but it's always important to provide it, such as do not take if you're pregnant or breast feeding, if problems persist consult your doctor, and keep out of reach and sight from children. The little blighters! More information is found inside the packet as what to do in case of an overdose - contact your doctor. Or the manufacturers contact information.

Boots tend to sell this product for approximately £2.99, which isn't cheap, but the same price as other similar products such as Piriteze. But I guess you can't afford to cut back in price if you want a product that does the job. Hayfever can be one of the most annoying and irritable illnesses you can ever wish to come across. Whoever invented it needs shooting! Whoever finds a miracle cure needs canonising!

Summary: Just what you need for instant relief
