Alten Tablet Benefits

• Works well for Pakistan's pollen and dust heavy seasons
• Safe for long term use in chronic allergy conditions when advised by a doctor

Loratadine blocks histamine, the chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction, which stops sneezing, itching and a runny nose before they start. Pharmacies in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi stock Alten tablet 10mg as an easy over the counter option for seasonal allergy season.

This tablet works well for the dust, smog and pollen that trigger allergies across many Pakistani cities, especially during spring and the post monsoon months. Most people feel relief within one to three hours, with effects lasting a full day.

Alten rarely causes the drowsiness linked to older antihistamines, so it suits people who need to stay alert at work or school. Anyone with liver problems should check with a doctor before regular use, since the liver processes this medicine.
