What is name of otc anti-histamine drugs which deal with airborne pollen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

They all do: Antihistamines don't target one type of allergen. The work to prevent the reaction that follows all allergen exposure. Many people like claritin, (loratadine) allegra, or zyrtec. All are otc.
