edgarblount Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Hi All, While riding out in the veld I sometimes suffer from hay fever. It is quite irretating cycling with an itchy nose and eyes. I have to constantly sniff and swallow some "snot" which affects my breathing and what not. What sort of medication do you guys use before a ride or during a ride that does not enhance performance or gets you suspended\banned from racing ever again?
Guest DieBees Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Long term: if it is acute get a cortizone shot. It lasts ne about six months. It is called something solispam.

I battle terribly with scratchy eyes, runny nose and constant sneezing. Especially this time of year. I normally take a texa antihistamine daily.

edgarblount Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 This has the makings of a cleverly disguised doping thread....Hahaha. My thoughts as well while typing up this topic. I have now edited my wording to state I'm looking for non performance enhancing medication.

edgarblount Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 deselex http://www.drugfreesport.org.za/online-medication-check/Aaah awesome fanievb. Thank you for the medication and the link.

FrancoisC Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Grow some "cajones" and hawk a loogie!You pink silk blouse you!Or Deselex.
edgarblount Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Grow some "cajones" and hawk a loogie!You pink silk blouse you!Or Deselex. hehehe, that reminds me of another discomfort I experience from time to time. I get shocked on the b@lls when riding underneath electrical wires. Imagine having an itching nose, itching eyes, snot to contend with and your b@lls gets electrocuted while doing a race.
whistler Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Loratadine. One pill each morning from about Sept to middle Dec for me. Each year. When it gets really bad a sniff of Flomist helps. As well as riding with an asthma pump. It got that bad few years ago.
venom1 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 When it comes to hayfever pills that's never an easy 1. What works for one person doesn't work for the next. I take 1 Allergix and hit out the park for a 6. My GF on the other hand takes 2 and it does nothing for her. At present i'm using NeoClarityne which works for me without the drowsiness. I guess it comes down to trail and error.
RocknRolla Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 You will make an error on the trail if you ride drowsy....

SeaBee Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 FWIW, Deselex also has a generic called Desaway... works for me! And a fair bit kinder on the pocket than Deseway.I also use a mild cortisone spray I feel it coming on - Clenil Aq.
