                              CONSENT SOLICITATION
                                       OF
                             ALLION HEALTHCARE, INC.

                                                               February __, 2000

Dear Stockholder,

                  The Board of Directors of Allion Healthcare,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), hereby requests your consent in writing to take the
following actions without a meeting of the Company's stockholders,  as permitted
by the General Corporation Law of Delaware:

PROPOSAL ONE

                  We  request  your  consent  to amend  the  Company's  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation  to change the Company's name to  "MOMSPharmacy.com
Holdings, Inc." The change in name reflects the fact that we intend to focus our
resources on the development of our Internet-based  pharmacy,  MOMSPharmacy.com,
operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

PROPOSAL TWO

                  We  request  your  consent  to amend  the  Company's  Restated
Certificate  of  Incorporation  to increase the number of  authorized  shares of
capital stock of the Company to twenty million (20,000,000)  shares,  consisting
of fifteen  million  (15,000,000)  shares of common  stock,  par value $.001 per
share, and five million  (5,000,000)  shares of preferred stock, par value $.001
per share.  The Board of Directors  will determine the  designation,  rights and
preferences  of the  preferred  stock  from  time to time.  In  order to  obtain
additional financing to fund the development and operation of our Internet-based
pharmacy  and to fund the  operation  of our mail order  pharmacy,  we intend to
issue additional shares of our common and preferred stock. Currently, the number
of authorized  shares of capital stock is  insufficient  to allow us to meet our
capital  requirements.  If this  proposal is approved,  we hope to enter into an
agreement to issue shares of our  preferred  stock for one million U.S.  dollars
($1,000,000).  There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to issue
additional shares of capital stock on terms acceptable to us or at all.

                  A  copy  of  the  proposed  Certificate  of  Amendment  to our
Restated  Certificate of  Incorporation is attached hereto as Appendix A. Please
read the entire  Certificate  of  Amendment  carefully  before  considering  the
proposals.

                  The  Board  of  Directors  has  reviewed  and  considered  the
proposed  amendments and has unanimously  approved both proposals and recommends
you approve the proposals.  The proposals  require the approval of a majority of
the holders of common stock of the Company.


<PAGE>

                  Holders of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock,  representing
more than a majority  of the  outstanding  shares,  have  informed  us that they
intend to approve the proposals.

                  The Board of  Directors  has fixed  the close of  business  on
February  8,  2000 as the  record  date for the  determination  of  stockholders
entitled to consent to the adoption and approval of the proposals.

                  Stockholders  of the Company are being asked to express  their
consent to the  proposals by MARKING,  SIGNING,  DATING AND MAILING the enclosed
consent form and returning it promptly in accordance with the  instructions  set
forth  below.  An  executed  consent  may be  revoked  at any time by a  written
revocation thereof executed and delivered to the Company,  33 Walt Whitman Road,
Suite  200A,  Huntington  Station,  New York  11746  prior to the time  that the
actions authorized by such consent become effective.

                                              By Order of the Board of Directors
