I use levo-ceterezine, slightly newer mix. But had to fight to get this from my previous doctor (as with anything that costs more than the £ 6-85 they get back).
Escpecially during hot weather I find it doesn't last a full day and when it does wear off late afternoon I get very tired and often fall asleep in my chair at my desk for an hour or so. Not very helpful.
I was clearly told several years ago that very few hayfever remedies are accecpted for a class 1 medical, but i thought class 2 didn't count ?. Is it a new euro thing.
Since then I gave up commercial flying (flying an A330 across the pond and back week in week out was just sapping my will to live) and even PPL flying due to work commitments

Question for anyone that know. Is there another remedy I could try / that my doctor could give me, but costs are preventing them from mentioning. Something that will last longer and perhaps no drowzy spells (all high street stuff just gives me a bad headache)
