⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

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.

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.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor 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.
