How do you get over an allergy?

New Law against Allergy Medication Limits how much you can buy per month How can we get this Law changed ?

• I have to take Allergy Meds everyday or I get Sinus infections. I curretly take Wal-it-in D, Walgreens brand of Claritin D. I only buy it when I run out sometimes my son takes it too! Now I go to the Local Walgreens just to find out that I have reached my Limit for the month. So I took other cheaper brand that I had in my med cabinet at home . waited a couple of day till November 1st, and went back only for them to tell me, that I still could not get it. So I sent my wife to get it. The problem is it is too low an amount for some families. so we need to change the law or modifie it some way. A doctors note, Bigger limit for larger Families. And help would be great? It is so frustrating to go get meds you need and have them tell you ,you can have it because you reached your limit. Who do I complain to? How can we do something about this. The pharmasist told me that it's govenmently regulated. Who do I call? He could not tell me he didn't know. Please Help me?

• Answer:

  Some states are restricting access to allergy and cold medications because these medications contain pseudoephedrine, a crucial ingredient in making methamphetamine. I don't know what state you live in, but you should be able to buy the pills in gel form. Gel pills aren't usually included in the ban because they can't be used to make meth. My next door neighbor, who is a Registered Nurse, is complaining bitterly about the ban. Actually, she thinks that almost all drugs that are illegal now ought to be legalized. She has some really good arguments that I can't remember now, but basically she says that most of the problems we have with drugs are related to the fact that they ARE illegal. They are so expensive that people have to steal to get the money and they are produced by criminals, so you have to establish contact with criminals to get them. If the drugs were legal, they could be produced under controlled conditions, would be pure, and would cost only a fraction of what they cost now. Also, the government could tax them and thus get money for drug rehabilitation and education. I don't think that these drugs are prohibited in all states, so you might be able to buy they on line. It is unfortunate that many have to suffer because of a few abusers. .
