I had only started getting allergies/hives in the last couple of years. i had been taking benadryl regular caplets then i came across the night time catapults. They don't only help with allergies and hives but they also help you sleep at night. I have tried many over the counter medications for hives and allergies but this by far has been the best! highly recommend this product to people who suffer from severe allergies and unable to sleep at night.
