There are much better drugs out there today for your allergy. Check
with your doctor, or get a new one. Stayhist is old news.

I do not know about everywhere, but pseudoephedrine is available most
places without a prescription. You are limited in how much you can
buy at one time and you have to get your name recorded.

Depending on the state, the pharmacy may have to jump throught hoops

There may be
better drugs out there, but generic pseudoephedrine is cheap and
effective, but not good for continuous use. The extra effort to get
it has made a lot of the sellers of over the counter medicines take it
out of their drugs.
