Claritin is behind the counter because it contains the EVIL psuedephedrin. No prescription, but you do have to ask for it. They even have the quick dissolving tabs that work real fast. (The first time I used one of the "Redi-tabs" it was like eating a snowflake. I wasn't sure it had even been there, so I took another. Same feeling but I resisted taking another. The last time I got a package of them they didn't dissolve nearly as fast.....probably a good thing.)
