Advantages: Stops Hayfever completely, bottles can last for ages

Disadvantages: N/A

After suffering from severe hay fever for a number of years as a small child I had tried many different brands of hay fever prevention but none had really been totally successful in stopping my sneezing and puffy eyes from occurring most days throughout the summer.

After seeing the doctor about my condition he recommended Piriton. Being fussy I don't actually take the tablet form of Piriton as I have trouble swallowing them, instead I rely on the liquid/syrup version of this medicine. After being extremely sceptical of this new medicine being able to prevent or reduce my reaction to pollen changes outdoors I was pleasantly surprised.

Whenever I took the Piriton first thing in the morning it meant that I didn't suffer an attack from hay fever the whole day. This was a massive break through as anyone who has ever experienced hay fever will know it can make you feel absolutely miserable. Alternatively if you have forgotten to take Piriton in the morning and you start feeling the symptoms of hay fever e.g. sneezing, runny nose, swollen eyes etc. A small dose of Piriton can reduce and leave you feeling great again after only an hour which is very impressive as your symptoms will slowly fade until they're gone altogether.

The taste of the syrup is a pleasant minty flavour which tastes a lot nicer than most modern syrupy medicines such as cough bottle. It's quite running but still retains the typical medicinal stickiness so don't spill it over your hands or on any clothing. Though at least it shouldn't stain since the syrup is a clear liquid.

Dose

The package comes with a two-headed spoon which should be used in these doses:

Children aged 1-2 years:
1 x 2.5 ml. Maximum daily dose: 2 x 2.5 ml spoonfuls in 24 hours.

Overall I was very impressed by the speediness and effectiveness of this product and would definitely recommend it to anyone that suffers from hay fever!

Summary: An instant cure for hay fever!
