Buy Zyrtec (Cetirizine) medication at reputable online pharmacy! No prescription, very competitive price, no hidden fees!
The patient says she is allergic to everything. Trees, dust, grasses cockroaches, molds and dust mites-you can name it. And I've learned the hard way that administering a daily antihistamine—in my case, Zyrtec—is something that you will need the whole year. Zyrtec is what my health insurance company refers as a Tier 3 prescription drug, meaning a $50-a-month copay (or $100 every three months if I were disciplined enough to order my meds through my insurer's mail-order option). Because competitor Claritin is readily available over the counter, many insurers put Zyrtec, Clarinex, and Allegra into their highest-copayment categories.
So I was more than intrigued in November when the Food and Drug Administration approved Zyrtec for over-the-counter purchase. Would I save money when I purchase this drug? Or pay more, assuming my insurer stops covering that particular medication? That's what many companies did when Claritin went OTC several years ago and a couple of phone calls indicated that they very likely will this time, too. WellPoint, which way back in 1998 asked the Food and Drug Administration to move Claritin, Allegra, and Zyrtec OTC, won't cover the OTC form of Zyrtec except in plans that include OTC medications, according to company spokesperson Jim Gavin.
While McNeil Consumer Healthcare, which makes the over-the-counter form of Zyrtec, would not release pricing information, Drugstore.com gave me a sneak preview of how much the medication will probably cost when it hits store shelves later this month: $21.99 for a 30-day 10-milligram supply; Walgreens.com lists the same medicine for $2 more. (All forms of Zyrtec—including pediatric formulations and those with and without an added decongestant—will be OTC.) That compares with a $75.99 Drugstore.com price tag for prescription Zyrtec, or, in my case, $50. OTC generic options for Zyrtec are likely found to be even cheaper.
People may also save on visits to the attending physician once they don't need a prescription. Is that a benefit that comes along with this drug? "There's a debate whether having a lot of patients bypass physicians for illnesses which present like allergies is a good thing," says Robert Fisher, a Wisconsin allergist. Still, he adds, a short trial of the drug, followed by a visit to the attending physician if you're not getting better, "probably is safe and cost effective."
