What Experts Say

Desloratadine is the active metabolite of loratadine and works by blocking histamine H1 receptors on cells throughout the body. This action reduces the itching, swelling, redness, and excess mucus production that occur during a typical allergic reaction.

Because desloratadine does not easily cross into the brain, it is classified as a non sedating, second generation antihistamine. This makes it a common first choice for patients who need daytime allergy relief without feeling drowsy, sluggish, or mentally foggy.

The medicine is usually taken once daily since its effects last around 24 hours in most patients, unlike older antihistamines that need dosing every few hours to stay effective. Doctors may lower the dose in patients with significant liver or kidney impairment, since clearance of the drug slows down considerably in these conditions and can allow it to build up in the bloodstream over time.
