Zirtek - is it any good?

[golders]

i took some zirtek over an hour ago for my
hayfever but it does not seem to have worked.

is it any good?

[grinder]

Ive not tried zirtec but piretese seems to be working pretty well (1 a day piriton)

Check the ingredients and the amounts its contains - u can normally pick up a non named brand for cheaper. Asdas own has the same in it etc. So watch u don't get ripped off

I don't suffer myself but last year i needed to take some can't remember why but i was suffering when out with the horse. Worked fine for me, it wasn't zirtek tho as I did what i stated above and just but a non named brand

my hayfever started yesterday :cry:

Need to go buy some drugs today, I find I changing brand each year seems to work for me

I find I changing brand each year seems to work for me

How if its the same ingredients ? same quantity ?

[golders]

i know the Blue Benadryl pack from behind the counter at Boots works really well. The Orange Benadryl pack from Supermarkets is ok but not that great.

Zirtec are very good for most people, I usually use them along with the beconaise (spl?).

Im sure its mostly psychological, but it works for me :nod:

Tesco are doing buy 1, get 1 free for clarityn, zirtek and benadryl.

I find I need to change brands sometimes too...the active ingredients are not always the same. For instance, piritese and zirtek use Cetirizine, but slightly different compounds. Clarityn uses loratadine.

You can get it on prescription...

£5 whatever for a months worth :thumbs: Been using it for a few years now. Seems to work better for me than Beconaise etc etc

I use Clarytin and use up to 60 tablets over the season so its much more economical if it get them on prescription from the docs

Asda's own works ok. I usually use Baconase (or whatever) but when the pollen count is real high I need back up !

like yesterday :cry:

all good fun though and an even better excuse to get pissed...

see ya
