Anti-allergy drug Allegra (Generic name: Fexofenadine) and its generic equivalent are now available without prescription, as an Over the Counter Drug (OTC) from any of the leading online Canadian pharmacies, announced Big Mountain Drugs (BMD). The drug that is used for seasonal allergies (hay fever) such as runny or itchy nose, sneezing, itchy throat, and watery, itchy, or red eyes used to be a prescription drug and a few months ago but has been approved for OTC sales. This provides relief for a vast number of people who get these allergy symptoms regularly, as they do not have to visit a physician, every time they get these symptoms.

Hay fever is one of the commonest allergies affecting millions of people. Hay fever is caused by pollen grains floating in the air. Allegra relieves the symptoms of Hay fever and other allergies in the upper respiratory tract. It is also used for treatment of itching due to hives. Allegra is available as tablets, orally disintegrating tablets and suspension. “Although, the drug is now available as an OTC drug, consumers should exert caution when using Allegra for a number of patient types” cautioned a Big Mountain Drug spokes person. The risk groups include:
