Becodefence, Plus Nasal Spray – Gets to Work in 3 Minutes NonDrowsy 120 Sprays, 20 ml

Love this item as it works really wel against hayfever

Despite taking the daily hey fever tablets I still get the itchy eye, runny nose, stuffed head symptons.Pros+Easy to use+Does work in minutes+Improves allergy reactions over timeCons- Has a light burning sensation for the first 2-3 seconds everytime you use it.- It has an oily aftertaste it leaves in your mouth which tastes similar to fish oil. This is actually from plant based oils in the ingerdients but I personally hate it as it lingers for a good while in your mouth and you can taste it.If not for the fact this product actually works and I can't find any alternative that matches, I would have stopped using this, due to the oil flavour. I would rather have the nasty flavour and no symptons.

Good stuff to stop you sneezing immediately. Unfortunately it's now £12 instead of £6! That, in under two years, is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

First send foremost this is not a decongestant but a preventing spray. I can no longer take or use most of the hay-fever things due to other medication. However this is fine. By coating the inside of the nose it prevents the reactions to pollen in the first place. Not 100% effective, but works pretty well for me. No runny nose or sneezing, even during current heatwave, and even my eyes aren't too bad. Be warned, though. Each spray causes a weird tingling sensation for a few seconds, which some could find rather unplesant, and there is a faint lingering spearmint smell. All I can say is try it.

I have found this to be fairly effective at keeping my hayfever at bay to a degree, but it comes at a cost...first of all there are cheaper options on the market that I have found to be just as useful. But the major drawback for me is it is rather unpleasant to use. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth and after application it causes me to have a bit of an unpleasant sneezing episode.

Definitely helping ease symptoms

I had to speak up in favour of this one because it's definitely a bit controversial.Yes, it does give a bit of a burn for about 30 seconds after you spray it up your nose and it does smell strongly of mint. The white gel runs out of your nose a bit after applying and it can go down the back of your throat and tastes minty.But it actually *works*.For anyone who gets hayfever badly, the above downsides are completely outweighed by its usefulness.I get very heavy hayfever and loratadine or cetrizine barely take the edge off my symptoms. In recent years I've used steroid sprays such as beconase or pirinase which do help a bit and this year I've also started taking fexofenadine which seems to work better than loratadine but is not the dramatic improvement I was hoping for. Becodefence is the first solution I've found that actually reduces symptoms significantly within minutes of using it. It has already become the bottle I pick up first when I'm sneezing badly and need quick relief.

A brilliant nasal spray for hay fever, particularly if like me, the anti histamine based stuff doesn't work very well and makes you drowsy. I use it twice a day, once in the morning and once before I go to bed so that's 8 sprays/day. It usually lasts about 7 days before the bottle is empty... so that is 8x7 =56 sprays, not 120 as it states!!!!! Slightly misleading!!!
