DD1 has been prescribed Piriton and Prednisone for food allergies. May I ask how other parents carry it? Is it available to buy in sachets like Calpol? Do you just cart the bottle, syringe and spoon with you?

TIA

Cart around the full shebang I'm afraid. No sachets. There was an effort to get the manufacturer to develop these to no avail.

Would be great if they did.

Indeed! Even pre-loaded syringes that you snap the top off would be an improvement!

Thank you.

We carry it all about & I'm obsessive about making the children responsible for remembering it - training for adulthood.
You can buy 60 ml and 100 ml brown glass bottles in Boots which I decant anti-histamine into - to make it more portable & to get through airport security. Need to make up your own label.

Hi yes i have bought a small medicine bottle in a chemist and decant it, and then i have put it in a ziplock with a medicine spoon. I also need to cart epipens about so i bought a medicine bag from www.yellowcross.co.uk/ebuttonz/bagsandcontainers/index.shtml

which is brilliant, i have the carry bag which fits the 2 pens in and a small vial of antihistamine, for 2 medicines you could get away with something smaller.
