Allergy Tablets and Liquids

Here at Gray’s Pharmacy, we know that caring for your family’s health isn’t always easy, and allergies can be difficult to live with. If you or your child struggle with the symptoms of allergies, such as having sore, irritated eyes, a sore throat or a blocked nose, you may wonder how to find lasting relief. Talking to our professional pharmacists can help you find the best solutions for your family and your lifestyle, and we will always be happy to help you find the products that will work best for your symptoms

Allergies are often caused by triggers in the environment. For instance, hayfever can be triggered by pollen, especially grass pollen, animal dander and moulds, and dust mite allergies can be caused by dust mites in an indoor environment. Most people find hay fever most problematic in the Spring, while dust mite and pet dander allergies can affect sufferers at any time and moulds are often more prolific in the Autumn. Symptoms can be extremely frustrating to live with, and even debilitating at the most sensitive times of the year. 

Allergies create a histamine response in the body, irritating the eyes and nasal passages and causing itching, sneezing and a streaming nose and eyes. Allergy medications alleviate these symptoms by blocking the histamine response and preventing the effects of the histamine in the body. Medications come in tablet, oral or spray form, and different options work well for different people. Some medications are suitable for children and others are better suited to adult allergy sufferers.

Cetrine tablets are popular as a form of hay fever relief and you need only take one tablet per day to reduce allergy symptoms. Zirtek Oral Solution is another great option, ideal for treating hay fever or dust allergies. It’s a pleasant, slightly sweet, banana-flavoured liquid that can be given to children over the age of two years, and is a non-sedating antihistamine that can also be used to relieve idiopathic urticaria, an itchy rash with no known cause. 

It’s vital to read the package insert carefully when you are considering a new medication. Dosage and the frequency with which you can use certain medications vary enormously so it is very important to ensure you have read all the information provided, particularly if you are using medication for a child. Talk to your doctor or your pharmacist for advice and to ensure that you are aware of any risks or potential side effects of your medication.
