Boots Non Drowsy Hayfever & Allergy Relief

As a long-standing hayfever sufferer, I am all too familiar with the evil lure of pollen-irritated eyes. The sensation of scratching the LIVING HELL out of one's eyeballs on a hot summer's day is, quite simply, divine! There are however, dire consequences to using one's fists as a pair of human window-wipers. These are namely, swollen, puffy, painful and bloodshot eyes, and in particularly vigorous scratch-fests, the generation of sticky yellowy-white gloop. Yuck! So, how does one deal with this problem? Purchase a massive pair of sunglasses to serve as a shield against pollen infiltration? Lock oneself indoors with all windows firmly closed? Assuming ...  Read the complete review

I have had mild hayfever for the past couple of years, but this summer (if you can call it that), it has been particularly bad. I would still describe it as mild compared to how some people get it, but I've been suffering with streaming eyes and nose as well as sneezing fits when I get anywhere near a flower.

The weather so far this year has been pretty lovely by British standards but i'm already suffering with a runny nose, sore, watery eyes and a bad throat thanks to hayfever! Tablets to combat hayfever are so pricey that i decided to try these Boots one as they were on a buy one get one free offer. They say they are fast acting for hayfever relief and also can be used to help with skin allergies, dust allergies and pet allergies. I can't comment on their effectiveness for the latter three unfortunately but it says for hayfever relief to take one tablet per day with water. They are really small tablets so should be ok for anyone that has any ...  Read the complete review

I suffer with hayfever every year - with the exception of last year when i somehow managed to avoid it - which was a relief not just to me but to my wallet! I always try everything they suggest like wearing sunglasses to keep the pollen out of my eyes and avoiding fields and that sort of thing but i live in the middle of a town and it still really gets to me. I find my eyes get very sore and itchy and i also get a sore throat and sneeze a lot as well as a constant itchy runny nose. I usually use Zirtek or one of the other branded hayfever relief tablets but i was recently in Boots when i returned from my holiday and saw that they had ...  Read the complete review
