When to start taking hayfever tablets
How many hay fever tablets can I take in a day?
I never normally recommend that anybody
takes more than the license those four
tablet now there are different kinds of
hayfever tablet most of them especially
the so called non-drowsy ones are
licensed for one tablet a day although
some of the more perhaps old-fashioned
ones like floor Fenna mean you can take
significantly more often those ones tend
to make you drowsy interestingly people
assume that if they take more tablets
they'll get more relief but actually one
study suggested that doubling up on the
dose didn't make a great deal of
difference so if one tablet a day the
licensed dose isn't relieving your
symptoms then I would recommend either
that you speak to your pharmacist about
perhaps changing to an alternative or
possibly adding in another treatment for
instance antihistamines and eyedrops
antihistamines and nose drops those need
to be taken regularly in order to have
best effect although with hay fever
tablets you can usually get relief
within hours of taking
