Frequently asked questions
- What does Children's Astepro Allergy treat?

- How does Children's Astepro Allergy work?
- Children's Astepro Allergy is a histamine-1 receptor antagonist. H1 antihistamines work by blocking histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction, from attaching to H1 receptors. This prevents the sneezing, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, and hives that histamine would otherwise trigger.
- How much does Children's Astepro Allergy cost?

Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Children's Cetirizine Hydrochloride Allergy — about $0.06 on the same basis.
