Households in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi reach for Alfalor Tablet 10mg during high pollen and dust seasons. Allergists in these cities often suggest it as a first line antihistamine.

Loratadine blocks histamine receptors in the body, which stops the sneezing, itching and swelling that histamine normally triggers during an allergic reaction.

A single tablet usually controls symptoms for a full day, making it a practical choice for people with ongoing seasonal or dust related allergies.
