Indications & Uses
Mylora is indicated for:
Pharmacology
This tablet contains Loratadine, a non-sedative antihistamine with antiallergic properties. It works by blocking histamine Hr receptors. Loratadine is a long-acting tricyclic antihistamine that acts selectively on peripheral Hi-receptors, and it has no central sedative or anticholinergic effect. It starts working quickly and its effect lasts, so one dose a day is enough.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
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.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Caution is advised when using this medicine in patients with impaired liver function or reduced kidney function (eGFR below 30 ml/min).
Contraindications
Loratadine should not be used by anyone who has previously had an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction to it or to any of its ingredients.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There isn't yet enough human data on using Loratadine during pregnancy, so it's best avoided at this time. It also passes into breast milk in small amounts, so breastfeeding mothers are advised not to use it.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Overdose
In adults, taking more than 10 mg of loratadine has led to sleepiness, a fast heartbeat and headache. In children, overdoses above 10 mg have caused extrapyramidal signs and palpitations.
If someone takes too much, general symptomatic and supportive treatment should be started promptly and continued for as long as needed. Patients who arrive early after a large overdose may reasonably be given oral activated charcoal. A patient who is conscious can be made to vomit, or gastric lavage can be done.
⚠️ In an emergency call 999 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Storage
Store Loratadine in a dry place, away from light and heat. Keep it out of the reach of children.
