UPDATE: |Amazon cuts price of ‘best’ allergy tablets as hayfever season hits UK News

Say goodbye to hayfever symptoms with these Allevia hayfever tablets that are currently on sale at Amazon.

As the warm weather rolls in, many across the UK are starting to feel the effects of hayfever as the pollen count slowly creeps up. Symptoms such as a runny nose and itchy eyes can be a proper pain when trying to go about your daily activities with most sufferers turning to antihistamine tablets like loratadine and cetirizine to combat the effects.

While those tablets might work well for some folks, those that have really severe symptoms might require something a little stronger. Thankfully, Amazon has just cut the price of what many shoppers judge to be the ‘best’ allergy tablets out there.

Normally £11.99, you can currently pick up a pack of 30 Allevia hayfever tablets for £8.65 – a 27% discount. These tablets are fexofenadine based, which can provide up to 24-hour relief from hayfever, mould spore, dust mite and pet allergy symptoms.

In England, fexofenadine is the number one oral antihistamine prescribed by GPs, and it’s clear that allergy sufferers swear by it. The tablets have pulled in an impressive 6,963 five-star ratings.

One shopper said: “These are the best hayfever tablets I’ve taken. They worked quickly and provide relief within half an hour. I purchased on offer so they were great value for money especially compared to our local shop.”

A second penned: “I suffer from hayfever almost year round and it’s been getting more severe. Loratidine and cetirizine worked but only up to a point and I was still dealing with streaming eyes, sinus pain and headaches.

“And then a friend told me these were now available over the counter and perhaps it was worth trying them. Oh my… I started them over the Easter weekend in case they made me drowsy, but honestly, they made a positive difference from day one. I hadn’t realised how much my hay fever was affecting my general well being until these cleared my symptoms. In two months, I’ve had one day where my sinuses were painful – a very hot and still day, instead of this being a regular thing. Reading and hobbies are easier and I’m sleeping better.”

Allevia is available in a 30 pack on Amazon for £8.65 or the same packet can be picked up at Boots for £12.49. Other options to help with symptoms include nasal sprays like Pirinase Hayfever Relief for adults at £8.85 as well as eye drops like Optrex Hayfever Relief drops for £6.49.

Another Allevia user wrote: “I’ve used so many different hayfever tablets over the years, but these are by far the best. Noticeable differences to your standard off the shelf products like Piriteze and Clarityn.”

While more than 70% of Amazon shoppers insist these are a perfect five-stars, not everyone had such a good time. One shopper said: “Worked quickly and stopped my itching eyes caused by birch tree pollen, but gave me one of the worst headaches ever!

“That lasted for over 12 hours, so I won’t take this again. Do read the PIL (Patient Information Leaflet) as headache is one of many possible side effects.”
