Another bottle of piriton leaked!

I have 3 different bottles, all different makes (same ingredients, different bottles) and ALL have leaked in my bag despite the lids being securely fastened.

How do you keep yours? Everything is sticky! Again!

I transfer about 30ml of Piriton into a labelled small plastic bottle (hotel shampoo size) and carry it inside a plastic pencil case along with epipen, inhaler and allergy information.

Piriton in the handbag... yeugh! Hope nothing too vital got sticky.

I keep mine in a small plastic food bag along with the syringe. Keeps it clean from handbag fluff. Have to say I have never had one leak though how unlucky.

Can't wait for the day they sell piriton in sachets like calpol!! You would think the manufacturer would have thought of that by now!

I dont like sachets, I never understood how you were supposed to do it? Straight into their mouth? Ds never opened it for it. Next time I tried it onto the spoon first I squeezed and squeezed and still only got 2.5mls out of apparently a 5ml sachet of calpol??

Never bought them again.

And with piriton I need to know he gets the full 2.5mls, id probably only be able to squeeze 1ml out.

What they need is a Karvol type thing where you snip the top off and squeeze that would be easier.

Anyway, thanks for the tip I got a sandwich bag today. Much better.

You'd think the manufacturers of allergy medication would have thought to make an allergy tablet without lactose (a milk sugar and common allergen if you didn't know). DS still needs the liquid and he's 10!
