Advantages: Work really well

Disadvantages: None I am aware of so far!

Of late I've been feeling rather rotten. To be totally honest I wasn't sure what it could be but all I knew is that I felt rundown, a bit snively and felt it was hard work at times to breath and could sleep for England.

Now I am a hayfever sufferer and usually every summer am armed to the hilt with lotions, potions and pills but on hot summer days I've been fine. Then when the weather took a down turn that was when I felt bad. Migrainy and lifeless and just generally very sad and ill.

I just assumed I've had a sort of summer cold the past couple of weeks then someone said what about hayfever could it be that? Well I laughed at the suggestion seeming as it's raining all the time here but when in Sainsbury's I thought before I go to the Dr's and complain I would try a antihistamine just to check it's not an allergy of some sort and that day as I picked up this box I had started to sneeze and my eyes were well sore and heavy! I thought well for 99p a box it worth a go!

The Packaging:

White and bright green square box with a round light blue circle on the front with a flower picture on it and braille writing. On the front of the box I'm told it is Sainsbury's Non-Drowsy Hayfever & Allergy Relief 'Loradine 10mg tablets' which are 'Fast acting, hayfever relief and also for skin allergies, dust allergies and pet allergies and that this box contains 7 tablets (also available is a box of 14). On the back of the box I'm told a bit about the product and given dosage instructions, ingredients and warnings are given as are contact details for MA Holder (the manufacturer of the product on behalf of Sainsbury's) and finally there is bar-code on there. Within the box there is a leaflet explaining more in depth about the pills and then in my 7 pill box is a plastic tray containing the very small white pills.

A Bit About The Product According To The Back Of The Box:

Uses:

To relieve the symptoms of hayfever and other allergies e.g pet or house dust mite allergies. Can also be taken for skin allergies such as rash, itching and urticaria (hives).

Dosage:
For oral use.

Adults and children 2 years of age and over weighing more than 30kg:
Swallow one tablet a day with water. Do not give to children under the age of 2 years or weighing less than 30kg.

Taking Them:

So all you do is take a small white tablet with a big glass of water and it's job done! Now like I have mentioned I wasn't sure what was up with me! I do have an eating disorder and suffer with low potassium levels which do make me lethargic and generally grotty and I do train hard at the gym and then I thought oh no maybe I'm getting swine flu!

However I'm now sure it's a case of hayfever because these really work for me! Within half an hour of taking these my eyes stop itching, my sneezing and snivels vanish and I'm generally more perky and alert and the effects seem to last about 24hours to which you simply take another of them if desired. Although not a massive dose of antihistamine they do the trick for me, are simple to take with no horrible after-taste or side effects (for me) and like I say are fast-acting enough.

Verdict:

Not only am I glad to know I haven't got the dreaded lurgy (swine flu lol) these really are great and as promised non-drowsy. I'm amazed they're so cheap too for the results they give and appreciate them being so fast acting and me, I shall buy a couple of boxes for emergencies! Brilliant and I can breath easier!

Only available in Sainsburys and my 7 tablet box cost 99p and a box of 14 tablets about £1.89!

Summary: A handbag must have!
