PILL-POPPING

Working out the right antihistamine for you involves some trial and error. A one-a-day, non-drowsy tablet available over the counter is a good start – try cetirizine or loratadine. Chlorphenamine (Piriton) is very effective, but is sedative. If you try these and don’t find them useful, ask your GP about prescription antihistamines or an antihistamine nasal spray containing azelastine.
