I take them out of the capsule as I'm no good with gelatine, but the acrivastine is excellent. I have a disease called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and these are very helpful on top of my other meds to control my symptoms :).

These work very well and quickly. Problem is I'm taking 2-3 a day as they don't last long. I'm spending a fortune so I have bought a cheaper brand as an everyday tablet and I take these if I'm really suffering.

Did not last long allergy symptoms not cleared as my previous experience with this prophylactic

I used Benadryl for many years maybe the pollen is more potent/meaner than it used to be

But no question this product helped me hence the 4 stars

The only thing that works for me (I'm a grass pollen sufferer).

This is a totally different drug to that used in Benadryl one a day.

Acrivastine is a third-generation anti-histamine, still under patent, so you wont find any other products that use this.

I find it incredibly effective when I take it two times a day (morning and mid-afternoon)

The very first time you use it in the hayfever season, it takes a few days to build up in your system and for your swelling / sensitivity to subside. After that you just maintain the routine and should feel pretty normal.

I understand it can be quite bad for your stomach lining if taken very long term or in excess. I take probiotic supplements too (home made kefir and yoghurt) which i find helps my hayfever naturally.

I also stay completely off alcohol from May to end of July.

Nothing else works for me (and yes I have tried the lot!)

Have very bad hayfever normally and these are a game changer. However refuse to pay stupid prices in a pharmacy. Got these on offer for £3.33 each which couldn't be beaten anywhere else. Very impressed so bought multiple packs. Definately worth a try. We take with big standard Tesco/B&M own brand cetirizine (80p - £1 per 30tabs), but check with your GP before combining different meds together. Hope you find this helpful x

I have given this product 5*'s only due to it working exceptionally well for my partner as it was bought for him. He wouldn't use anything else now and recommends it highly. He likes the fact that you can take more than one in a day which suits him especially now the summer is creeping upon us.

Everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for another.

But for me - this is the only tablet that works for hayfever and general allergies.

I take one first thing in the morning and it does me for the day. I sometimes take a second if it's really bad, but normally I can get away with one.

It's great if I take it early to nip things in the bud. If I forget, and allergies kick off... then it's too late and taking one is less effective. So it's best when taking routinely before trouble occurs.

Loratadine and all the rest do nothing. This is great. It gives me a life. Thank you.

I always keep a box at home, because it is the only thing that works regarding insect bites or allergies by contact with some plants.However, although it works like a treat with skin allergies, I can't say the same about respiratory allergies: it does nothing, so I take a different brand for hay fever, for example.

Bought to aid sleep and it works. No hangover effect.

They don't last the 8 hours, but only just short of it. Quick to stop symptoms. These didn't work for me last year, but have found out that you need to alternate between the activistine one year and the centrizine the next. So so thankful for these this year. My life is no longer being a misery
