Loratadine is an antihistamine medication used to treat allergic symptoms such as allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, nasal itching) and urticaria (hives with itching). It is a second-generation antihistamine that blocks H1 histamine receptors, thereby reducing allergic reactions.
One advantage of loratadine is that it does not cause significant drowsiness, making it well-tolerated by most patients. It is available in tablet, syrup, or oral solution form and is usually taken once daily.
Side effects are rare but may include headaches, fatigue, dry mouth, or, in very rare cases, severe allergic reactions. It is important to take the medication as directed by a doctor or pharmacist.
