Walgreen's only had a generic version of Zyrtec but not Zyrtec-D. Anything with pseudoephedrine in it they don't actually put on the shelf. You have to take a card from the shelf up to the pharmacy counter where they put your driver's license number in the computer and track your pseudoephedrine purchases to make sure you're not buying so much as to run a meth lab. There were no such cards for the generic version.

Seems like both Claritin and Zyrtec were so successful as prescription drugs that their producers are keeping them pricey as over-the-counter. The generics are still pretty pricey--maybe a couple bucks less but that's it. Either way when I run out of this supply of Zyrtec-D I'm going to try regular generic without the pseudoephedrine and see if that works alright. I don't want to be on Walgreen's list of pseudoephedrine hoarders if I can avoid it. :uhhok:
