Claritin (Loratadine) - Summary

CLARITIN SUMMARY

Claritin (Loratadine) is an antihistamine.
Claritin (Loratadine) is used to relieve symproms of hay fever and allergy, including sneezing, runny nose, and red, itchy and tearing eyes.
It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Loratadine may cause less drowsiness than other antihistamines.

CLARITIN is indicated for the relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis and for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria in patients 2 years of age or older.
