Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 My son does takes Allegra and he's happiest on this allergy med.. Zyrtec and Claritin both made him grouchy. @...: mdfreedberg@...: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:40:59 -0500Subject: Zyrtec woes Hi Everyone,We are now unable to get our insurance to cover Zyrtec as it comes OTC. What other allergy meds are there? We used to take Claritin before Zyrtec but it is OTC also. With all the $ we spend on meds, it would be really nice to find a new allergy med that our insurance will cover. If anyone has any ideas, I am very interested. We have a phone consult on Thursday so I'm sure Dr. G will have some ideas also. Her ASO and HHV6 numbers are finally coming down and I don't want to mess that up.Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi , The Zyrtec syrup is only about 12.50 per bottle. About two of those bottles makes the size of the one we used to get through the pharmacy and we had to pay a $50 copay to get it so for us OTC is cheaper. Also, there is a printable coupon at the Zyrtec website which may help. (I was able to print 2 of them) Also the Zyrtec is still tax deductible even though it is over the counter if your medical bills reach some percentage of your income (I think 10%) which with phone consults, prescriptions, etc it probably does. Just keep your receipts. Hope this helps. April Zyrtec woes Hi Everyone, We are now unable to get our insurance to cover Zyrtec as it comes OTC. What other allergy meds are there?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 My son does great with a very small dose of chlortrimeton (he's 5 and gets 1/4 tablet at bedtime). A bottle of 100 or so tablets was around $4. I had to ask the pharmacist for it; they keep it behind the counter even though it's non-prescription. This is the one Dr. G recommended for my little guy. Kristy Zyrtec woes Hi Everyone,We are now unable to get our insurance to cover Zyrtec as it comes OTC. What other allergy meds are there?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Allegra. Btw its about time Zyrtec became OTC - in Singapore its been OTC for years - costs $S27 for 30 which is $US18. I remember getting a prescriptiuon here once from Dr G because we ran out, and with out US medical insurance it cost $US94! And now suddenly it's the same price as in Singapore. Difference is that if purchased at the pharmacy or dispensed by a Dr (in Singapore the Dr's have a dispensary) the price is the same. More evidence that the US health insurance system is in need of a fix! _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of and Daron Freedberg Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 4:41 PM Subject: Zyrtec woes Hi Everyone, We are now unable to get our insurance to cover Zyrtec as it comes OTC.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 My sons take Dytan. That's not one Dr G used before but the others were making one of my sons very irritable, and this one is pretty well tolerated by them. Their circles under the eyes aren't totally gone but since there are no sinus symptoms, it's probably food and/or viral. --- Aut2BMiracles@... wrote: > , > > Both my kids do well on Singulair. > > Sharon > > > > **************Ideas to please picky eaters.
