Worried about allergy problems when abroad? It seems that you can currently stock up on remedies very cheaply and buy 84 Piriton equivalent tabs for £2.40 online.
For those living in Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland, prescriptions are free, but if you live in England but can get a bulk prescription and it may be cheaper than buying over the counter.
Online pharmacy Chemist-4-U has boxes of 28 Piriton-equivalent tablets for 80p if you order three boxes min, plus free delivery. Alternatively it's also selling loratadine tablets (same active ingredient as Clarityn) for £2.91 for 3 mths' supply delivered. Branded Clarityn would generally be over £20 for the same. The drawback of online chemists is speed - in the past, once people know about the offers, the suppliers areinundated.
If you're suffering now and need something to tide you over, Morrisons' 14 cetirizine tablets (Zirtek equiv) are on BOGOF until 7 June. This makes it £1.50 for a month's supply, saving up to a tenner vs the branded version.
Are online sellers safe? Always check the active ingredient to ensure it's the right tablet for you. These sellers are General Pharmaceutical Council registered but you should ensure you're happy with the company before buying.
