What Experts Say

Desloratadine blocks histamine from attaching to its receptors in the nose, skin, and eyes. Histamine is the chemical the body releases during an allergic reaction, and it is responsible for sneezing, itching, and swelling. By blocking this receptor, the tablet stops these symptoms before they build up.

Doctors reach for this tablet as a first line option for ongoing allergy symptoms because a single morning dose lasts through the day. It is often recommended for people whose jobs need alertness, since it crosses into the brain far less than first generation antihistamines. Skin specialists also prescribe it for chronic hives that last more than six weeks.

Dust, pollen, and smoke levels rise sharply during certain seasons, leading to a spike in sneezing, itchy eyes, and blocked noses at pharmacy counters. Many people take an older, sedating antihistamine out of habit and end up feeling drowsy at work or while driving. Switching to a non-drowsy option like this one, under medical advice, usually solves that problem.
