Loratadine Warnings
This medication comes with essential safety warnings that should be carefully considered before use. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with your healthcare provider.
Drowsiness: Loratadine (Claritin) may cause drowsiness, impacting your concentration, thought process, or reaction time. This effect can be amplified by consuming alcohol or using other substances that induce sleepiness, such as opioids, certain anxiety medications, or sleep aids. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how Loratadine affects you.
Overdose Risk: Loratadine (Claritin) is present in various over-the-counter products, which increases the risk of accidental overdose if combined with other antihistamines, including those applied topically. Overdose symptoms may include seizures, hallucinations, or potentially fatal consequences. Always check product labels to prevent taking multiple antihistamine-containing products simultaneously.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) Advisory: If you have phenylketonuria (PKU), exercise caution with chewable or orally disintegrating forms of Loratadine (Claritin) as they may contain phenylalanine from aspartame. Review the product label or consult your pharmacist to ensure the formulation is safe for you, as alternative forms may be available.

Loratadine Interactions
What is loratadine used for?
Loratadine is used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching of the throat or nose. It is also used to treat hives and itching in people with chronic skin reactions.
What is the difference between Claritin and loratadine?
Claritin is a brand name for the generic drug loratadine. Both contain the same active ingredient and are used to treat allergy symptoms. The primary difference is that Claritin is a branded version, while loratadine is the generic form. They are equally effective, but the choice between them may depend on factors such as price and availability.
Is loratadine as effective as Benadryl?
Loratadine and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) are both antihistamines used to treat allergy symptoms, but they differ in their effectiveness and side effects. Loratadine is a second-generation antihistamine that is less likely to cause drowsiness, making it suitable for daytime use. Benadryl is a first-generation antihistamine that is often more effective for acute allergy symptoms but is more likely to cause sedation. The choice between them depends on the specific symptoms and the need to avoid drowsiness.
Is loratadine the same as Benadryl?
Loratadine and Benadryl are not the same. Loratadine is an antihistamine commonly known by the brand name Claritin, while Benadryl contains diphenhydramine, another type of antihistamine. Both are used to treat allergy symptoms, but they have different active ingredients and may have different side effect profiles.
Who should not take loratadine?
Loratadine should generally be avoided by individuals who have a known allergy to it or any of its ingredients. Additionally, those with severe liver impairment should consult a healthcare provider before using loratadine. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also seek medical advice prior to taking this medication. It is important for anyone with underlying health conditions or who is taking other medications to discuss with a healthcare professional to ensure loratadine is safe for them.
