(Product image shown is for illustration purposes only and may differ slightly from the brand of Loratadine you receive).
How does it work?
This medication contains the active ingredient loratadine 10mg, which is a
non-sedating antihistamine. Loratadine works by preventing the actions of histamine.
Exposure to pollen, pet fur, house dust or an insect bite can cause the body to produce a chemical called histamine. The release of histamine causes allergic symptoms, which can include rashes, sneezing, watery eyes and a running or blocked nose. Antihistamines stop the effects of histamine and help to relieve these symptoms.
Loratadine is used to prevent and relieve the allergic conditions of hayfever, such as inflammation of the nose, eyes, skin or airways and results in itchy watery eyes, a runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion.
