I order these every year and at just 39p delivered per pack of 28 they are a very good deal, especially compared to proprietary brands.

Cetirizine is Cetirizine, even if you buy a branded packet at £9 or the cheap asda kind they just work the same , people always think buying a more exspensive brand means you will get a better medicine but your just paying for packaging and advertising LOL this brand work just as well as the dearer tablets because its a genric kind. Same with Nurofen, you are paying £5 for plain low strengh ibuprofen lol so heat added for this.

OK if you get that exact brand from Bristol labs. Some sellers will send you something similar which sometimes is just some super cheap knockoff that doesn't contain the ingredients it needs!

I bought these for the year previously. Beware they definitely DO NOT work as well as even the ALDI tablets. I am often sneezing even after taking these tablets. I have still been taking them although I will never buy them from Amazon again. The packets look genuine but for all I know I am swallowing chalk.

Why? I buy meds from India - genuine meds from Cipla etc. You can tell with feedback and word of mouth (on forums etc) who is good and who should be avoided.

Great deal. I get similar ones from Chemist Direct, but these are half the price, with free delivery.

I wouldn't buy meds from independent sellers or unfamiliar retailers online either. I simply would not be comfortable or have enough peace of mind doing so. I would however happily buy from Boots, Supermarkets, or a well known High Street chemist/shop online.

Lifted from Wikipedia for info:-
commonly reported side effects of cetirizine include headache (16%), dry mouth (5.7%), and drowsiness (5-20%) or fatigue (5.6%).[10]

Good if they work for you. Unfortunately they don't for me but I've found Asda's own brand do the job.

On that note, Nurofen is actually being sued in Australia for improper marketing. Same ibuprofen tablets for targeting different ailments. All a marketing ploy.

Voted hot but note that the expiry date is shown as 07/2016 on the product page, in case you were planning on stocking up.

It's only January - some stores are still selling off last Summer's stock :smiley: Maybe these are last year's stock?

Loratadine and ceterizine are pretty much non drowsy, either are fine.
Chloramphenamine is the only one which is really known to cause drowsiness.

I got these a few weeks ago the expiry date is 05/17 good price but took about 10 days for delivery

You'd be safe with either loratadine or ceterizine. They're both unlikely to cause drowsiness. Only one with a real risk of causing drowsiness is chloramphenamine.
