NASAL SPRAY WITH NO RIVAL (BUT OPTIONS DO EXIST)

MOST EXPENSIVE: Clarinaze Allergy Control 0.05% Nasal Spray £13.99 at Boots CHEAPEST: Beclometasone Hayfever Relief Nasal Spray 50mcg £2.99 at chemist-4-u.com SAVINGS PER YEAR: £11 THOSE suffering severe hay-fever symptoms often rely on anti-allergy nasal sprays containing steroids to reduce the inflammation inside the nasal cavity. The most popular products are branded - Beconase, Clarinaze and Pirinase. Unfortunately, there is no unbranded replacement for Clarinaze, which contains the strong steroid mometasone. Still, some patients find that other steroids work just as well, so it may be worth trying an alternative, if only to save some cash. Each of these contains a different type of steroid, which vary in effectiveness between people. If Beconase is your go-to, it may be time to switch. Online pharmacy chemist-4-u sells an unbranded version of the spray, containing the same steroid - beclometasone - for £3 less than the branded version at Boots. You might want to switch from Pirinase, too: Boots does its own version of the spray, containing a steroid called fluticasone propionate, for £1 less, called Allergy Relief Nasal Spray. And don't be fooled by the different style in which the dosage is listed between packets. Beconase lists the dosage as `0.05%', while cheaper versions contain `50mcg'. It's the same amount, just written in a different format.
