BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — The Food and Drug Administration has approved French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis to sell its Allegra allergy treatment without a prescription.
The Allegra family of products will be available in the U.S. over the counter as of March, Sanofi-Aventis said.
Hanspeter Spek, the company’s president of global operations, said converting prescription medicines to over- the-counter products was “a key growth driver for Sanofi- Aventis to become a diversified health care company” in the U.S.
