What Experts Say

Loratadine blocks histamine, the chemical released during an allergic reaction that causes sneezing, itching and a runny nose, relieving allergy symptoms effectively.

As a second generation antihistamine, it is long acting and generally non-drowsy, so most people can take it once daily and continue normal activities.

It controls symptoms well in Pakistan's dusty, high pollen conditions and is generally well tolerated. Anyone with significant liver disease may need a lower dose or less frequent dosing.
