Description
Loratadine is an antihistamine drug that reduces the effect of histamine chemicals. It is used to treat the allergies of histamine chemicals which appear in symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing and runny cold. One can also use it to treat medical conditions not listed above, however only after approval of one’s doctor. Loratadine is a type of antihistamine. There is a natural substance produced in the body called histamine. Histamine is stored in the mast cells throughout the body. When an allergic reaction occurs, the body releases histamine, causing inflammation, producing allergic symptoms. By taking this drug, histamine is suppressed, thereby providing relief from hay fever symptoms. Loratadine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is easy to use and readily acting medication for combating allergic reactions. Loratadine is available in 100mg, strength. However, you need to seek medical consent before using this medication as the dose varies depending on your health condition, age and medical background.
