Martin Lewis' MSE hay fever warning over costly mistake when buying allergy tablets

Anyone with hay fever may well have noticed their allergies flaring up recently with the arrival of the first grass pollen peak at the start of June.

There's no doubt that having a pollen allergy can be particularly unpleasant at this time of year, making sufferers itchy and uncomfortable as the symptoms threaten to put a dampener on the warm summer months. Fortunately, there are remedies available from pharmacies or GPs that can help to ease the impact of hay fever - but with so many options on the market, it's difficult to know which one will work best for you.

What's more, some retailers may even ramp up the price of their allergy tablets to take advantage of demand in the summer months - which could lead shoppers into believing they're getting a better product by paying more, when in reality it's just as effective as cheaper options. With this in mind, Martin Lewis' MoneySavingExpert website has issued handy advice for anyone who finds themselves needing to buy allergy tablets in the coming weeks.
