A bit more expensive but exactly what I was looking for.
Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know!My daughter and I suffer from seasonal allergies starting in mid May and running through mid-July. Visit family on a horse farm and they really fly out of control. We have used all the standard 24-hr varieties (Claritin, Zyrtec, etc.) of over the counter allergy meds in the past with some success. They at least can take the edge off. The biggest issue is that I feel the 24 hour tablets have too narrow of an effective timeline such that after 8-10 hours, it seems that they've worn off. I had been saying for some time: "I wish they made a 12 hour Zyrtec/Claritin/Allegra" though I never really spent the time looking for one. I stumbled across these after remembering to search for one.Thus far, I can say the results have been great BUT I also didn't start taking them until early July when my allergies should have been waning. But, the results seemed dramatic enough for me to be able to say that these 12 hour generic Allegra tablets have been working well. I never had much luck with Claritin, Zyrtec worked pretty well but I'll be sticking with these at least one more season to see if they are as good during my peak season as they were coming out of it. Tablets are very small and easy to take without water.Due to price for a generic, I'd like to give them 4 stars but anything that works well on my seasonal allergies will get 5 stars as long as the price isn't exorbitant.

Inexpensive (relatively) AND in bulk!
Bluesman is correct Moldy OCG, some of us need the 60mg size.I took Fexofenadine as a prescription, as an adult, 60mg twice a day. I have fairly serious allergies and that was the dose, likely to keep a consistant amount in me over time ("time release" like the 24-hour isn't quite what most people think). Also if you think about it, why take more if you don't have to? I'd rather take 2x 60mg than 1x 180mg (I'd take less if I could get away with it), despite it costing more. Due to a shortage of 60mg pills I had to take some 24-hour (180mg) for a couple of days and I can say it doesn't work as well.Ever since it went OTC and off my drug plan, my costs skyrocketed. At Kaiser when it was still prescription it was 20¢ ea, Allegra (branded) are $1.06 ea. at Walgreens, and even Wal-fex are 79¢ ea. Again, twice a day. Ouch.I started buying online when California moved the 60mg dose behind the pharmacy counter (no longer on-shelf, I can only assume because of meth cookers?). Going to a pharmacy at hours that are awkard to stand in line for long peroids of time just wasn't acceptable. And of course, I need alot and consistently. Without them, I'm a mess. Local stores just don't keep enough stock around for someone who wants to get 5+ boxes at a time of a dosaged not use as much by the general public.Wal-fex has been getting more diffucult to get online. So just stopped by Amazon because Walgreens.com was out of the 60mg. Was about to buy the branded Allegra when I saw this which was cheaper (74¢ ea.) and even better, in bulk (no more waste from single-pill deterrent wrappers).So yeah, be careful thinking "more is better" or "once a day is better than multiple times per day," it is not even close to being the truth.

Value is no longer best; quality is still competitive.
Price increased thirty-four percent! 34%!! (...since I last purchased ~three months ago, in Jan 2018, when it was ~thirty-five cents per pill). Maybe BECAUSE it’s ‘allergy season’?! Unfortunately, this puts this generic bulk option at about the same price as Allegra (or generic Fexofenadine) sold in brick & mortar drug stores, where it can be roughly fifty cents per pill at its best pricing. SOooo, barring at least a moderate price reduction by perrigo, eg at least ten percent, there’s not much incentive to buy perrigo’s here... unless you prefer the bottle of loose pills over the blister packs (of name brand or generic). With enough lead time, you can just look for a sale while at your local grocery/drug stores. That’s what I’ve been doing since January (at first bc perrigo’s was out-of-stock). E.g., I recently got several boxes from cvs online (w/ their ‘prime allergy season sale’ pricing, it was ~ forty cents per pill and shipping was free with four or five boxes, also made in Israel). Also: re quality, both perrigo’s and cvs’s (at last check, both made in Israel) are preferable to Mylan‘s (at last check, made in India). IME—and other reviews suggest—Mylan’s generic had more poor quality fillers/binders and allergy-provoking ingredients (...ironic and, of course, counterproductive for an antihistamine).
