What Experts Say

Desloratadine is a second generation antihistamine that doctors often prescribe for both short term and long term allergy relief. It works by blocking histamine receptors, which stops the body from producing the sneezing, itching and swelling typical of an allergic reaction within about an hour.

Experts consider Desloratadine one of the less sedating antihistamines available, making it a common choice for people who need to stay alert and focused during the day. Doctors still advise some caution when starting the medicine, since a small number of people notice mild tiredness at first.

Health professionals note that Desloratadine can be used for both seasonal allergies and chronic hives that last for weeks or months at a time, often with good long term results. Experts recommend people with liver or kidney disease speak to their doctor first, since the dose may need to be adjusted in these cases to avoid side effects.
