Piriton Allergy Tablets (60 Tablets): Piriton Allergy Tablets are used to treat the allergic symptoms (runny or itchy nose with or without stuffiness) caused by hayfever and other allergies e.g. pet and house dust mite allergies. They relieve itchiness, redness, swelling, tenderness and irritation associated with many allergic skin problems. Piriton Allergy Tablets also relieves the itchy skin rash of chickenpox. Piriton Allergy Tablets contain the active ingredient chlorphenamine.

- hayfever and other allergies e.g. pet, house dust mite and mould spore allergies

What’s causing your allergy?
All of us are exposed to different potential allergies at different times of the day. For example, if you go out to work and show allergy symptoms during the working day then something in your work environment may be triggering your allergy. If your symptoms are worse at bedtime, then it could be house dust mites in and around your bedding that are the triggers.
Common allergy causing triggers:
- House dust mites
- Pollen
- Pets
- Mould spores
