Works for me. A number of work colleagues have these too and swear by them. Its also been clinically tested. Seems therefore that you are wrong mate. Probably just that you are one of the people that this doesn't work for - doesn't mean its cr?p though.
And the answer to "over priced meds" is to buy supermarket own-label.

Bought this at the same price last year.
I would normally be quite cynical about products like this but was suffering badly from hayfever on the day I saw it and gave in.
Based on experience, I think it is a good product. It doesn't do the trick on it's own but then neither do the one-a-day tablets I use (loratadine) but when used together they have eased my suffering very well.
Heat added for the deal and for making sufferers aware of an alternative to the traditional medicines.

Have you tried some of the other anti-histamines? Loratidine didnt really work for me- cetirizine did.

My sons teacher approached us about his hayfever a few weeks ago.
She was concerned that he would not cope with his sats because of his symptoms.
Went out and got one of these in desperation - but must admit I didn't expect much.
WOW! Don't knock it until you try it! Within a week the symptoms had subsided dramatically and he was able to do his sats without too much trouble.
I know they don't work for everybody but it has definitely worked for him. Not a cure by any means but it really has reduced the symptoms to manageable levels.
Bear in mind that if you buy this then you can get the air purifier/ioniser at half price so you get both for £21.

Hot from me, its not an amazing product but i definately noticed a difference when using this. Have a lot on amazon, there is a similar product for about £80 i think. For £15 its got to be worth a punt.

This nonsense product has been thoroughly debunked dozens of times but, like most alternative therapies, the placebo effect does its magic in the vast minority of cases- so ill-infomed people think it works.
Do you really think that red light can alleviate/cure hayfever? Do you really?!
This is pure voodoo, buy it if you are completely ignorant of science and therefore susceptible to the placebo effect it gives then buy it.
This is a disgraceful ,cynical and sinister exploitation of a medical condition and brings eternal shame on those snakes at lloyds pharmacy.

Having been a pharmacist for 8 years, I wouldn't be taking medical advice from punters on the forum.. best to see your pharmacist or GP...
As for the product, I wouldn't buy it nor sell it to anyone....

my gp told me to start taking anti histamines before the hay fever season starts to "build up a defence" as it were i find the citrizine hydrochloride do make you a bit dopey the best ones were the ones you got for hayfever that were withdrawn because they caused heart palpitations

What can i say, after using this, i could breath through my nose again. Not sure a placebo can have such effect.
