should ds start to use them BEFORE the hayfever starts (like opticrom)
does it have to build up ?

i used to use them and got relief immediately, so don't think you need to build it up.

Same here - think they're quite strong though, how often does your gp say to use them?

ds2 is 7 and he was using opticrom but it was useless.
he's been told 3 times a day.
thing is though, i noticed it said only for 12 weeks so unlikely to see him through to the end of his hayfever.
glad to hear someone has had success with it, for the last 4 years NOTHING has ever worked and he misses school because of it Sad

Sad poor chap.
If rapitil doesn't work its magic, have you tried sofradex? That worked for me recently when even rapitil failed.

no, not heard of that one, is it prescription only?
