Drug Details

Loratadine is an antihistamine medication designed to alleviate symptoms related to hay fever and other allergies, including itching, runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Additionally, it can help relieve itching caused by hives. However, it does not prevent hives or treat severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. If you have been prescribed epinephrine for allergic reactions, it is crucial to carry your epinephrine injector at all times and not substitute loratadine for it. For those using loratadine without a prescription, carefully follow the instructions on the package and consult your doctor or pharmacist if needed. Do not administer tablets or capsules to children under 6 years old unless directed by a doctor, and do not use the liquid or chewable forms in children under 2 years old unless advised by a healthcare professional.
