Dear So and So

Bethany, I'd also suggest that maybe you see if they can still give you the prescription for it. I've gotten prescriptions for Claritin even after it went over-the-counter, back when pharmacies advertised $4 generics but the OTC generics were twice as much.

I've been told that there is no more. I was getting generic Allegra by prescription. For a while after it went OTC I was still able to get it filled ($5 for 30 pills), but the last time I went they told me that the manufacturer was no longer shipping and that I'd have to go OTC, which costs about 5-6x as much. I guess when the generics go OTC the price will come back down, but for now I'll have to grin and bear it - or maybe order online.

*edit* ooooh - Costco has it.... that may be reason enough to keep the Costco subscription going 120 generic pills for $41 - still more expensive than my prescription was, but way cheaper than Safeway.
