The process normally takes a few hours or days. I say try out the claritin over the counter or the generic first to see if it works.

The other option is to call the insurance co. and see what is covered under the insurance and tell the dr. to call that particular medication in.
I have actually tried claritan, claritan D, allegra d and zyrtec. it might be a mental thing about it, but the claritin didnt work very well compared to the allegra and zyrtec.

i just called the pharmacists and they said that my insurance company just doesnt feel like paying for zyrtec cause its expensive. something like this happened last time when i was trying to get allegra. why wont they pay for that, i pay them every month, not like i am sick or have allergetic reactions every month.
