Hi folks, just wondered if someone could answer a query please re hayfever relief. Boots used to label their "bubble" packs of hayfever tablets as "non-drowsy", but they don't seem to do this any more and I can't remember which of the two Loratidine or Cetirizine is the "non-drowsy" medication. I've got both, and I don't want to take the wrong ones away with me on a foreign trip. Would be grateful if someone could help, please. Many thanks. Chox.

Both are of the new non drowsy generation. personally I find loretadine to be slightly less drowsy making that cetirizine but its a personal call IMO.

Thanks so much, woofgang, I had a feeling it might be the Loratidine, but just wanted to be doubly sure before we pack it in our bags! Appreciate your help. Cheers, Chox.

The best protection against hayfever is a tsp of local honey each day. My husband and I both suffer badly and find honey far better than antihistamines.

I don't live in the country, Minty, but I do like to take a drive to my nearest farm shop where I can stock up on honey and free-range eggs.
