Pharmacology
Desloratadine, the major active metabolite of Loratadine, is a non-sedating; long acting tricyclic histamine antagonist with selective H1-receptor histamine antagonist activity. Desloratadine also inhibits histamine release from human mast cell.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Pregnancy Category C. Desloratadine has not been established as safe for use during pregnancy, so it should be avoided unless there is a clear medical need. Because Desloratadine passes into breast milk, a nursing mother and her doctor should decide whether to stop breastfeeding or stop the medicine, weighing how important it is for her treatment.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
