  Wayne Salverda, the coalition's on-staff pharmacist, says members can save money with the launch of over-the-counter Allegra.  In 2010, the average total drug costs per day for brand name Allegra was $3.74, and even generic formulations were $1.83 per day on average.  The OTC version offers considerable savings at less than $1.00 per day.
