Levocetirizine Dibydrochloride is an allergy med also known as Xyzal, and is notoriously expensive OTC. Walmart near me charges $7.99 for 10. (0.79/pill). Nobody sells an OTC generic for it yet.

Costco has the generic for Xyzal, but you have to get to it via the pharmacy. If you do this right, you can get 90 tablets for $12.64 as a member, $19.01 without. That's like 0.15/pill!

1) Have doctor call in 90 (or even 120) day script to Costco for Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride. Your doc might say "oh that's over the counter", but you can still have them write a script so you can get the pharmacy price!!
2) If you aren't a Costco member, just tell them at the door you're going see the pharmacy and they will let you through.
3) Once at the pharmacy, if you are a member, sign up for the Costco CMPP plan - it's for cash customers to give you a discount on cash drugs like this.
4) My 90 day supply with CMPP was $12.64. Without, they said it's $19.01.

Still a great deal on this allergy med that works awesome for me, and glad I found this workaround rather than paying the inflated OTC pricing!

Interesting. In my experience, the moment any med goes OTC, Walgreens drops it like a hot potato. They'd much rather you pay 23 dollars OTC vs 23 cents at the pharmacy.

What a lot of folks don't know is a doctor can prescribe even OTC stuff. In quantities, it's much cheaper, and any pharmacy can usually get it if they don't have it. I get a bulk deal on 120 generic Prilosec that way too. Much cheaper than buying OTC.

Walgreens now has Levocetirizine generic OTC in orange packaging. $26 or so for 80 pills. Stock us in short supply probably because so many people are buying it.

Just got 90 for $12.57. Can I get 120 for even cheaper per pill?

You can only join CMPP if you dont have prescription insurance.

CVS has generic Xyzal. Was able to order online with lots of allergy personalized store coupons and got it for next to nothing.

Bunch of generic versions of this all showing up on Amazon, but look sketchy AF, especially after running them through fakespot. Can't decide if I should risk saving like $40/year vs. being poisoned by some "Florida" company. Guess I can't really go wrong either way, so might as well try it!
