No long List: The newer oral nonsedating antihistamines available without prescription in the US are: loratadine (Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra), cetirizine (Zyrtec) and levocetirizine (Xyzal) . Desloratadine ( Clarinex) is available by prescription. Some of the insurance medication plans will cover some of the above over-the-counter antihistamines.
