Spring Is Here! Time to Ditch the Cough Syrup and Grab Something Fresh for Allergy Season

Allergy Season Ahead sign

Spring has arrived in Brandon, FL! The sun is shining, the palmettos are swaying, and—achoo!—allergy season is in full swing. It’s time to ditch that crusty old cough syrup from winter and refresh your medicine cabinet with something to tackle those spring sniffles. At Choice Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we’ve got a mix of natural remedies, trusted over-the-counter options like Xyzal, Claritin, and Zyrtec, and custom solutions to help you breathe easy this season.

Living in Brandon, we all know how the pollen from oaks and grasses or even a whiff of that springtime humidity can turn a beautiful day into a sneeze-fest. Whether you’re strolling along Lake Mango or enjoying a picnic at All Persons Rotary Park, allergies don’t have to slow you down. Let’s explore some natural and OTC options to keep you feeling your best, all available right here at your neighborhood pharmacy.

Natural Remedies for Allergy Season

  1. Local Honey
    Straight from Brandon-area beehives, local honey is a sweet way to ease into allergy season. With tiny traces of regional pollen, a daily spoonful might help your body adjust over time. We stock raw, unfiltered honey from nearby keepers—perfect for a natural boost.
  2. Quercetin
    Meet quercetin, nature’s answer to histamine overload. Found in apples and onions, this compound helps tame itchy eyes and runny noses. We can compound it into custom capsules or chewable doses just for you.
  3. Nettle Leaf
    Don’t let the name fool you—stinging nettle is a gentle allergy fighter. Its anti-inflammatory power can soothe sinuses and calm that scratchy throat. Try it in our custom teas or tinctures, blended to your liking.
  4. Butterbur
    This lesser-known herb packs a punch against sneezing and congestion, often matching OTC meds without the drowsy downside. We compound butterbur into safe, personalized forms—pure and additive-free.
  5. Neti Pots
    A Neti Pot is your secret weapon for flushing out allergens. This simple device uses a saline rinse to clear pollen, dust, and irritants from your nasal passages. Benefits? It reduces congestion, eases sinus pressure, and keeps your airways moist—perfect for Brandon’s humid spring days. We carry Neti Pots and mix preservative-free saline in-house, with optional natural add-ins like aloe for extra soothing. Just tilt, rinse, and breathe easier!

Over-the-Counter Favorites

Sometimes you need a quick, reliable fix, and we’ve got you covered with top OTC allergy meds:

  • Xyzal: Great for 24-hour relief from sneezing and watery eyes, especially if nighttime symptoms keep you up.
  • Claritin: A non-drowsy classic for all-day clarity—perfect for busy Brandon days.
  • Zyrtec: Fast-acting and long-lasting, ideal for tackling tougher allergy flare-ups.

Swing by and grab these off our shelves, or ask our team which one’s best for your symptoms.
