I am normally a very upbeat person, but from November through April I could have some really down days. The reason is I have horrible seasonal allergies which does not seem to be getting better through the years. I am allergic to dust and pollen, which really makes for some tough times during the early Spring months. I have been known to be quite miserable and huddled up in my bed for the night around 8 pm.
My husband can commensurate with my misery as he has horrible allergies as well. Between the two of us, one is always itching our eyes, dealing with running noses, having extremely watery eyes, and having itchy throats. Hayley laughs at us because one of us will have a sneezing fit and once one ends, the other goes into a sneezing frenzy. It is horrible! Allergies are horrible!
Because we suffer from severe allergies in our family, finding good allergy relief is quite important to us. We do have over the counter pills we take for allergy relief but I am not a big fan of lugging the bottle in my pocketbook and always have the fear my kids will somehow open my pocketbook and accidentally get hold of the pills. It is my number #1 fear. My girlfriend and sister, who both live in NYC, are chronic allergies suffers too and they recommended that I stop by Duane Reade to get the Urgent Rx Allergy Attack Relief To-Go Packets. The Allergy Attack are single serving fast powder packets, to be used for us allergy suffers.
Since I head to NY a few times each year, as my sister lives there, I decided I needed to take their suggestion and head right over to Duane Reade. Directly in the pharmacy section, they had 6 different Urgent RX relief powders including Head Ache Relief, Heart Burn Relief, Allergy Attack Relief, Upset Stomach Relief, Ache and Pain Relief, and Critical Care Aspirin. They were very easy to find as they were right at the pharmacy section, smack in the middle of the counter.
I decided I was going to pick up the Urgent RX Allergy Attack Relief To-Go packets as I was very intrigued. It got rave reviews from my friends and sister, so I knew it would help me out tremendously. The Allergy Attack is a fast powder (no liquid required) that you pour directly into your mouth. You simply swallow the powder without any needed water. This makes it very convenient to take it any time you are experiencing allergies and need relief. The powder enters your bloodstream more quickly than pills or capsules, which is great when I need quick comfort.
The Urgent RX Allergy Attack contains 25 mg of Diphenhydramine HCL, which is a antihistamine found in many allergy medicines. What is so great about this though, is no swallowing of pills is needed. I could simply take these packets with me in my wallet, purse, or pocketbook, and use them as needed. This is super convenient for allergy suffers such as myself, and I also will never have any fear of my kids ever getting into the medicine.
I bought a few of the Urgent RX Allergy Attack packets so I could have them on hand when I had an allergy attack and was in need of relief. I was actually very excited to try it out, because I currently am dealing with bad allergies that has me feeling quite lousy. I checked out of Duane Reade and at home, took my first packet of the Allergy Attack. You can see my full shopping story here: google plus at Duane Reade.
When I got home, I opened up the powder and put it on my tongue as recommended. The powder is a raspberry flavor and is actually quite pleasant to swallow. There is no after taste either, which is a huge plus.
Within 15 minutes, I immediately saw my allergies symptoms diminish. I was no longer itchy, my nose stopped running, I stopped sneezing, and my watery eyes was a thing of the past. I could not believe how fast and how well the Urgent RX Allergy Attack helped me. It is truly unbelievable helping with my allergies. The convenience of these packets and the fast acting powder, coupled with me not having to take any water, makes me a big believer in the Urgent RX Allergy Attack medicines. Thank you Urgent RX for coming up with such a great medicine to help people who suffer with allergies.
This was me before I took my Urgent RX:
This is me after 20 minutes of taking the Urgent RX:
See the difference! It has helped me tremendously with my allergies and I plan to use it for many more years to come. I plan to keep them in my pocketbook and my medicine cabinet, so I have easy access at any time. Be sure to check out Urgent RX on Twitter/Facebook to learn more today!
This is interesting. I wonder if it works on indoor allergies. I have wicked dust allergies and HAVE to take a claritin every time I clean, but sometimes I forget! Once the attack hits, I’m miserable for at least a day, even after taking the pill. I wonder if this would help when I forget to take the meds before cleaning!
I love Urgent Rx! I haven’t tried the allergy version, but the stomachache and headache powders work so well for me! Love the new packaging, too.
I had never had allergies until I moved to RI a year and 1/2 ago! Until then I never knew what they were or why those who had them were so miserable! Now I get it! Great info- allergies are no fun!
I, too, suffer with seasonal allergies and am intrigued with your review and recommendation of Urgent Rx. The packet on-the-go is perfect for me because I am literally up and about ALL THE TIME at my grandkids’ activities, both indoor and out. Thank you for sharing…
These are PERFECT to bring camping with us! So awesome!
I like that these are great for on the go!
I wonder if this would work for my allergy to cats and other animals. And now that spring is here I am sure my other allergies will get to me, I will have to look into this, thanks for sharing, never heard of it
You look so cute sick!
Those sound amazing. I love that it is a raspberry flavor. I wish I had a Duane Reade near me. I have really bad allergies in the spring too.
I am actually dealing with allergies this morning!
I have trouble swallowing pills, but find most allergy meds to taste disgusting. Would love to try this since it tastes like raspberry!
I need to try this! North Texas is terrible for allergies, particularly at this time of year.
Oh wow, that is so cool! We don’t have Duane Reade stores here, I wish we did! I am going through a terrible week of allergies myself. I stayed in bed for practically 3 days until I was able to get my hands on some meds that actually worked! Those look great and super convenient!
Great to know about and great for on the go!!!!
oooh sounds like a nice, fast-acting one! I suffer from allergies year-round and it’s miserable in the spring and summer!!!
wow! i have horrible allergies too. i didn’t know they had a powder you could take. i’ll have to pick some up to try the next time i am in the city!
This is such great product. I’m definitely telling my husband about it because he often gets allergies this time of year. I can’t believe how much healthier you were after only 20 minutes!
I have never heard of fast powders! I need the headache version because most meds make me sleepy – this seems like a great alternative. Thanks for the info!
Wow! That’s great relief, fast!
What a great idea! My husband suffers from random allergy attacks and we never seem to have anything on hand. This would be great to carry in my purse for him or for him to have in his pocket.
Ack. It’s usually the spring allergies that take me out. I wish there was a Duane Reed near me. I’d love to the Relief to Go packets a try.
Isn’t Duane Reade affiliated with Walgreens? If so, do you know if Walgreens carries this?
Ok, I just answered my own question lol. I loooked on the Walgreens website and they do carry these (at least they do online). So that is great news for those of us that do not have a Duane Reade store in our area.
Thank you for letting us know about this wonderful product!
Very good question!!! I am glad to know the answer too:)
WOW! My husband has horrible seasonal allergies, I’ll definitely have to pick this up next time I’m in the city! Or at Walgreens if our store carries it!
I’m so glad that allergy relief worked for you.
