Adults:
Adults and children over 12 years of age can take one Loratadine tablet once daily, usually in the morning or whenever symptoms need treating. For children aged 2 to 12 years, the dose depends on body weight: those over 30 kg can take one tablet once daily, while those under 30 kg should take half a tablet once daily. Loratadine is not recommended for children below 2 years of age, as its safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been established.
Side Effects
In controlled clinical studies, the rate of side effects such as drowsiness and anticholinergic effects with 10 mg Loren was similar to that seen with placebo. Studies looking at Loren's effect on actual driving ability, as well as on tests of mental alertness and coordination, also found it to be comparable to placebo.
