The time of the year for hay fever in the UK generally lasts from March to September, but mild winters can result in pollen releases as early as January or even February.

If you're in the aisle of your pharmacy wondering which one to pick, cetirizine, loratadine, and fexofenadine options, you're not all on your own.

Each year, as pollen levels begin to rise, millions of people experience the familiar symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Hay fever affects millions of people across the UK, with studies showing that approximately 1 in 4 adults suffer from this common allergic condition.

Every January, millions of people worldwide swap their evening glass of wine or weekend pint for a cup of tea or sparkling water.

Flu has arrived earlier than usual this winter, catching many people off guard. Hospitals across the UK have already reported a sharp rise in flu-related admissions, prompting health leaders to urge people.
