Non drowsy hayfever medi

[Joellybum]

I get Fexofenadine on prescription - it’s one of the only hay fever tablets that doesn’t make me drowsy. I was at my mum & dad’s last week and had forgotten to take my tablet so dad gave me a cetirizine and it knocked me for six! I came home and slept for about 3 hours.

My husband gets fexofenodine on prescription also, it’s the only one that works for him but even then he sometimes ends up on a course of steroids. It’s definitely the best one he has tried.

I take Sainsburys certrizine and they help with symptoms but I am constantly tired. My dd takes them everyday for allergies and comes home from sixth form a goes to sleep. I didn’t know they make you drowsy.

Cetirizine is supposed to be non-drowsy but it knocks me for six and I feel lousy all the next day. Loratidine suits me better. I never buy the brand names. B and M/Home Bargains/Aldi - less than £1.00 for 14 and work just as well.

They all make me feel half asleep ,including the so called “non-drowsy” .

One thing I’ve found over the last few years for immediate short term relief of hayfever symptoms, is a Trebor extra strong mint, no idea in the science but it’s saved me a few times now, hth

Benadryl is the only one that works for me and typically there are no cheaper non-branded versions so it works out expensive

I feel for you! It is awful. Perhaps you might get some temporary relief if you could do a salt water eye bath?

They make me drowsy as well and just take edge of the symptoms, I also use the becanase nasal spray which helps, (sounds strange) and also vaseline smeared in nostirls you can still breath and it traps all the dust, pollen, keep some at my bedside as it wakes me every night. my friend told me about this one
