allegra

anybody seen this in the uk?

it's the only thing that works for my cat allergies without nasty side effects.

Nope...

It is not here that I know of... basically something about the possibility of side effects on the heart.. or so I was told by my chemist (who could be wrong.)

Your choices here are the crappy Claritin (which does not work for me at all), Zyrtec/ Priteze (Ceterizine) and the old stand by Benadryl.  The spellings are a bit different.  All of these meds are available over the counter.

I am not sure what if any meds might be available through your doctor.  I just tend to stick with Zyrtec which for me works as well as Allegra did.

Sorry take that back.. it's called Telfast here... and you seem to be able to get it online... though I don't know if the sites are dodgy or not. 

Also it is available via a scrip from your GP.

This is a useful site: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~aair/hayfeverRx.htm

thanks! you rock!   

my future cats thank you

VNP - you totally rock! OMG - I have been so miserable. Allegra is the only thing that works for me and I thought I was doomed to not getting a full nights sleep forever. Zyrtec stopped working for me years ago, Clarityn never worked for me and the once a day Benedryl will give me about 6 hours sleep if I'm lucky.

Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!

Aw thanks!  I don't know how easy it is to get... but I will be trying to find out one day soon.
