Zyrtec over the counter now

zoe4life · Feb 27, 2008

Hello! Thought I'd share what we have done to beat the insurance problem with Zyrtec now being over the counter. Zoe has been taking Zyrtec for a couple of years now, doing great with it, but originally we had wanted her on Allegra due to the fact that it doesn't cross the brain barrier(hence maybe causing drowsiness). Well, when we tried that a couple of years ago, we couldn't get our doc to prescribe it to her. But, now that I have called with the whole "insurance won't pay for the Zyrtec anymore" problem, I asked them if they would call her in Allegra to try, sure enough, they did! FYI Zyrtec over the counter is about $30.00 for a one month supply! The Allegra through my insurance will cost me the same thing for a 3 month supply! Allegra is equivalent in effectiveness, so I am excited for the new change! Yeah, we finally got what we wanted!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Have a great day,

good work Jada!!!!!

everyone else, careful with zyrtec- it can cause drying (has anti-cholinergic properties).

allegra is still best. if anyone is having problems getting it covered, PM me and I'll give you verbiage for the prior-authorization to get the Allegra covered.
