We all know how common allergies are in New Zealand, with nearly 1 in 5 New Zealander’s suffering Allergic rhinitis. Allergies that continue throughout the year are often caused by allergens that are found indoors, like pet dander and dust mites. Seasonal allergies (hayfever) are usually caused by pollen in the air from trees, grasses and weeds.

Allergy symptoms can significantly impact quality of life including sleep disturbance as well as impair work or school performance and daily activities.

But the good news is that there are effective treatments available over the counter. Claratyne is one of these treatments that offers 24-hour relief of symptoms triggered by over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens.

These medicines may not be right for you. Read the label before purchase. Follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional. Bayer New Zealand Limited, Auckland. DA2156AP LMR-CH-20211003-21
