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.]

They have also OK'd generic versions of Zyrtec (Cetrizine) for OTC- so there should be cheaper versions shortly.

Yep, after FDA approval process.
