Since standard allergy pills are not providing relief and Xolair is too costly, there are other affordable paths we can explore. Sometimes, safely increasing the dose of your current generic non-drowsy antihistamine up to four times the standard daily limit can help. We can also try adding a generic acid-reducing medication like famotidine, or a medication called montelukast, which target different inflammatory pathways. For temporary relief, a short course of generic oral steroids or other generic immunomodulating medications can be considered. Please discuss these options with your doctor to find a safe, budget-friendly plan.
