If you suffer from hayfever these products will help get you through the summer

Melissa Carton

I have terrible hayfever.

If I come anywhere near a flower my face starts to get puffy and my eyes start to water. I always have to make sure that I’m stocked up on antihistamines.

The pollen count is due to be high this weekend so if you or your child suffer from hayfever these products will help save your nose this summer.

Whether it’s a runny nose, sore eyes or itchy skin, these treatments will have you covered.

Cetrine – Cetrine (Cetirizine) is a non-drowsy antihistamine tablet used for the relief of the symptoms of hayfever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) and allergies such as dust or pet allergies (perennial allergic rhinitis)and rashes associated with hives and itching (chronic idiopathic urticaria). Symptoms relieved can include sneezing, runny or blocked nose, red or watery eyes and red, itchy skin.

Piriton – Piriton Tablet make a great hay fever treatment option for all the family. Piriton can relieve the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies, and so aid restful sleep when symptoms are troublesome at night. Piriton can also be used to relieve the itchy rash of chickenpox.

Optrex – Optrex Double Action Drops for Itchy and Watery Eyes is a specifically designed preservative-free formula that provides instant and long-lasting relief of itchy and watery eyes. Suitable to be used in conjunction with anti-histamine treatments and contact lenses.

Hay Band – Hay-Band Drug-Free Acupressure Band has been designed to help relieve symptoms of allergies including hayfever and headache pain. The easy to use acupressure band is 100% natural and drug-free. One size fits all. Not suitable to wear during pregnancy.

HayMax – HayMax ™ is a balm that prevents allergens from entering the body. For example, if you are allergic to grass, trees, pollen, dust, or pets, this allergen barrier can prevent symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes and ears, coughing, and other ailments. Take a small amount with a cotton swab (or your finger) and apply the ointment around the nostrils and/or the eye sockets (not too close to the eyes). Apply immediately after getting up and always carry a small pan to repeat the application if necessary. HayMax ™ contains no medicines and can, therefore, be used during pregnancy and lactation. It is great for kids and anyone who wants to take less medication.

Prevalin – Prevalin Allergy Nasal Spray works by creating a barrier on the nasal lining. Instead of treating hay fever symptoms once they have set in, Prevalin tackles the root cause of hay fever before full-blown symptoms even occur. With its unique approach, Prevalin lines the inside of the nose, deactivating pollen and getting to the root of the problem – addressing all significant hay fever symptoms, without the side-effects.
