Well, Yay! And Not a Moment Too Soon

Zrytec has gone OTC (Over-the-Counter). Still costs about $30.00 for 45. So, I'll keep getting the Canadian version, Reactine, for $60 for a year's supply (360).

Next up, I guess, will be Allegra (which is already OTC in Canada).

[Edit: Approval was also granted for generic manufacture, so we can expect to see those appearing (and price-dropping) in the next few months.]

Not likely - too high a chance for significant side effects such as the interaction with nitrates, the vision/hearing problems that some people can have.

Unless one is Johnathan Swift or Oscar Wilde, being witty in text is very very difficult to carry off.... :)

I was going to make the same comment George did, too great a risk of significant side-effects.
