Quick Q - Hayfever tablets

Recommended Posts

My apologies for posting this as I'm sure I've seen it mentioned on the boards before but I can't find it via the search box: Do either I or my husband need a prescription to bring over the counter hay fever tablets into Australia? I tend to keep them in the first aid kit as they're useful for other things (like sand fly bites etc) but I was sure I read you can only get them on prescription over there. If it is the case I'll leave them out of the first aid kit and pop to my Docs for a prescription before I leave.

 

Thanks

Try reading this thread as it looks like people are buying Anti histamines over the counter

Brilliant, that's great, so it was cost rather than availability that was the issue, I knew I'd read something but couldn't remember what. Thinking if we've got room I might stock up. Though if Aldi is anything like over here then they might sell them too??

 

Yes we are going to stock up a bit (remember to check expiray dates!) we will also be stocking up on razor blades as I have seen a thread saying they are expensive!

 

Good luck:smile:
