We all know how common allergies have become in New Zealand. If you’re a sufferer yourself, you’ll be very aware of the effect they can have on your everyday life.

They occur when our body’s natural protection (the immune system) mistakes everyday things like pollen and dust mites for harmful ‘invaders’ like bacteria and viruses. Allergic reactions are caused by the chemicals your body releases to tackle these allergens. Currently, there is no cure for allergies but the good news is that effective treatment of allergy symptoms is available. Antihistamines like Claratyne have been helping New Zealanders stay one step ahead of allergies for many years. Claratyne provides 24-hour relief of symptoms triggered by over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens. One daily dose provides relief from: sneezing, runny nose, watery & itchy eyes & itchy rash.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your healthcare professional. Bayer New Zealand Limited, Auckland.
