Warm weather allergies (including hay fever) are tiresome at the best of times. Just when you want to be outside enjoying all the Great Outdoors has to offer, along come pollens and other allergens to make your life miserable.
For many allergy sufferers, simply taking precautions to avoid pollen doesn’t prevent the unpleasant symptoms of an allergy - a runny nose, watery eyes and blocked sinuses. To make matters worse, breathing difficulties at night due to blockage of the nasal passages may interfere with sleep.
When severe, allergy symptoms can be very uncomfortable, making it difficult to carry out daily tasks. They may even cause loss of time from work or school.
New Reactine* Allergy and Sinus tablets provide gentle relief for the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies. The extended release formula provides relief for 12 hours and is suitable for adults and children 12 years of age or older. The tablets may be taken with or without food.
Please consult your doctor before taking this product if you have high blood pressure, heart, kidney, liver, or thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, prostate enlargement, or if you are elderly, pregnant or nursing. Do not use if you are taking a prescription drug for high blood pressure or depression without consulting your doctor. This and all medications should be kept out of the reach of children.
Travelling with Medications
If you or your family suffer from breathing problems or other medical conditions, you may need to take prescription medications on vacation with you.
This means that you will need to carry appropriate documentation if you are travelling outside of Canada.
Be sure to take enough medication to last the whole trip (prescription and/or over-the-counter medications). You should carry this in your hand luggage in case your suitcases are lost in transit.
Prescription medications should always be carried in their original containers showing dosages and refills and identifying the drug for customs officials. You should also have with you a doctor’s prescription for any controlled drug in the event this medication is confiscated.
Finally, make sure you have appropriate health insurance when you go away. Even a brief visit to an overseas doctor can be prohibitively expensive.
