The sun is beaming, the barbecue is warming up, and it’s time to savour the summer days in the great outdoors. However, for those plagued by hayfever, days spent amidst pollenating plants can be a less-than-pleasurable experience.
Allergy tablets are an excellent solution to combat hayfever symptoms, aiding with bothersome sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and itchy, red, or watery eyes. They can be quite pricey, though, which is why it’s wise to stock up on medication when it’s on offer.

Now shoppers can snap up 90 Allevia Allergy Tablets for £22.90 at Amazon, down 36% from the RRP of £35.54. The non-drowsy medication contains fexofenadine as the active ingredient, and the tablets start working in one hour and provide 24-hour relief.
The Allevia tablets are suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and older. Plus, they’re lactose free, gluten free and easy to swallow.
The market is brimming with alternative hayfever medications, each with different active ingredients and price tags. For instance, you can pick up Boots’ Hayfever and Allergy Relief 10mg Tablets at £5.39 for a pack of 30, designed to tackle symptoms from hayfever, pet allergies, skin reactions and dust allergy.
These tablets boast Cetirizine Hydrochloride, an antihistamine, as their potent ingredient. Meanwhile, Waitrose offers Benadryl Allergy Relief Acrivastine for £5.17 per 12 tablets, which boasts rapid relief in just 15 minutes thanks to Acrivastine. However, it’s important to note they contain lactose, which could be a no-go for some.
However the Allevia tablets are garnering praise with a stellar 4.5 star rating on Amazon. One satisfied customer exclaimed: “Works perfectly for my son. Nothing else seemed to work before.”
Another happy shopper stated: “These are a must have for hayfever and allergies! I wouldn’t buy anything else now and have recommended to so many people.”
A third content user declared: “Absolutely the best hayfever tablets I’ve ever used! Great price too.”
However, they didn’t prove to be 100% effective for everyone. One individual shared: “I’m one of those unlucky people who have an array of symptoms – itchy, swollen eyelids, watery eyes, runny and itchy red nose, frequent sneezing fits, itchy skin all over my face and awfully itchy throat, so much so that it is debilitating and I want to stick a fork in there. These pills took away the throat issue, for which I am eternally grateful, but none of the other symptoms. However, none of the other leading brands helped me in any way for approx 30 years, so this is a win, nevertheless. Based on this, I would recommend it.”
Another user pointed out that despite being marketed as non-drowsy, they did experience some drowsiness, reports the Express.
