Hello Sha Sha,   Most over the counter medications for allergies are affordable even for those less fortunate. However, some of the over the counter meds like Zyrtec can be pricey for the average budget as well. You might consider getting your doctor to prescribe a generic form of allergy medicine for you. Then you could take it to places like Walmart or Walgreens where they have a $4 generic prescription plan that does not require insurance or a prescription plan. You can read about medications commonly prescribed here in the drugs database.   I hope this helps some. Take care and let us know how you are doing!   Vicki M
