(NOT true here in Canada, so I have no idea how expensive it is in the Netherlands.) Best thing is, it's good for 24 hours, so one little pill gets you through the day. When my mold allergies were really bad, I would take one every 12 hours, which is still well below the level of any issues.

Loratadine is easily and relatively cheap available in the Netherlands. It's the also the only thing that seems to work. Unfortunately it makes my hair fall out (a very rare side effect) and since my hair isn't exactly thick and full I try to go without. This year it's mostly been teary eyes, which I can live with.
Luckily it's more annoying than painful and apparently it feels more swollen than it looks.
