    i'll try and spell this right, its an injection you can get once a year like the flu jab, i get it every year and its a god send, your doctor will have the details..
    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........

    i tried the tablets, but they are annoying.....the injection is your only man, no side effects or anything like that......

    Over here (in the US) I use Allegra (prescription). It does the trick. I must say my allergies became must worse when I move here 12 years ago. Thankfully the Allegrea does the trick.

    Well mine got much worse when I moved back here... Never had hayfever, or never noticed it when I was living in Manchester. Luckily Clarityn does the trick for me...

    Try Pollena by Nelsons. It homeopathic and did the trick for my better half (which made my life much better too). You'll get it in most chemists.
    don't worry, they couldn't hit an elephant at this dis......

    Forget the injections or tablets. Best bet are eye drops. I started using couple of years ago & was amazed with difference...

    Its all related. Eye drops will help nose too.

    AFAIK GPs are slow to give the injection due to possible side effects.

    Hay Fever Remedy

    If Clarityn doesn't work get prescription from Doc for Neo Clarityn. Very good.

    I used to suffer really badly but a combo of Neo-Clarityn and Flexinase Nasal spray every morning has all but cured me, except the days when I forget...


    forgot to say, a spoon of honey is very good too as a prevention

    I don't suffer too badly from it but I've found Zirtek to be good.

    An old Victorian patent medicine by the name of Rhyno's Hay Fever and Catarrh remedy, once available in all good chemists but now only from selective outlets. I believe it goes by the name of cocaine these days.
