• "This did not help my allergies at ALL. In fact, it seemed to make them worse on the days I took it!"
• "However it has not really worked and my allergies were just as bad as if I took nothing so if you're looking for cheap substitute this isn't it."
• "I can feel it doesnt help my bad allergy."
• "This bottle tasted and smelled odd, and the pills did not alleviate my allergy symptoms at all."

Price and Value

• "I am completely satisfied and excited to be saving a significant amount of money."
• "Thank you Amazon for selling an affordable allergy medicine that doesn't make me sick."
• "Great price for the amount you get especially when the whole family takes it daily. It'll last my family about 8 months before I have to buy more which makes my wife happy."
• "Only 13.60 for a whole year worth of pills is an amazing deal."
• "You get a year's supply for about $14, tax included, which is reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "Disappointment doesn't even begin to describe the distrust I have with Amazon products and will never trust them again for medicine."
• "This was $13.94 when I purchased this last in January 2022. At this moment it’s priced at $22 something."
• "I am a non paid customer who just wasted $12 for nothing 🤷‍♀️."
• "When I tried to reorder the product it is listed at $47.00. What happened?"
• "Amazon won’t post my review because I stated they tripled the price in less than 30 days."
• "I've always been a believer that generics are as good as name brands ... until now."
• "When you purchase online not knowing the expiration date of an item you take orally then Beware when something is reduced drastically then something is wrong."

Convenience

Pros:

• "I like that it comes in a disintegrating tablet - it makes it convenient to take especially when I don’t have water nearby."
• "They’re really small and go down the gullet super easy."
• "The pills are small and easily swallowed."
• "These are the easy-to-take melting tabs, that dissolve in your mouth easily, meaning you can take them without water or other liquid."
• "They're so small that you don't even notice swallowing them."
• "These are melt in your moth tabs. They are quick to melt and taste a bit minty."
• "These are great as they dissolve in your mouth, so good to use when water is unavailable, like during a flight."

Cons:

• "Getting to the tablet could be a challenge -- you have to break the individual sections apart, get the tab up and lift off both the paper and foil backing to get to the tablet."
• "Irritating for daily use as they’re packed individually so you’re peeling open the wrapper everyday."
• "The bottle I received has an expiration date of 7/2022. When I start taking the pills on 1/14/2022 I will be only able to use 168 pills before they expire."
• "The only issue is it comes with 365 pills but the bottle expires in 6 months so I will not even be able to use the entire bottle."
• "I feel like these are definitely not as strong as they could be so some days I have to take 2 if it’s a bad allergy day."
• "They are expiring in June!!! There is no way we can finish 600 pills in 5 months!!!"
• "It also definitely didn’t work as well as generics from Walgreens, or as well as the brand names."

• "I opened the bottle for the first time and the foil was all torn open."
• "I will never buy this product again."
• "I am a non paid customer who just wasted $12 for nothing 🤷‍♀️."
