What Experts Say

Loratadine blocks histamine at H1 receptors on cells lining the nose, eyes and skin, stopping the sneezing, itching and swelling that histamine triggers during an allergic reaction. It works mainly outside the brain, which is why it causes much less drowsiness than first generation antihistamines.

A single tablet each morning keeps allergy symptoms controlled through work or school hours, which is why doctors across Pakistan often prefer it over sedating antihistamines for patients who need to stay alert. Effects usually begin within an hour and last close to a full day.

Allergic rhinitis linked to dust, pollen and city pollution is one of the most common complaints seen in Pakistani clinics throughout the year, especially during spring and the monsoon season. A non-sedating antihistamine like this one is commonly recommended as first line therapy before adding a nasal spray for more persistent or severe symptoms.
