Select Strength
Loratadine is a long-acting antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. By preventing histamine from acting, loratadine helps reduce allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness in most people.
It provides relief for up to 24 hours, allowing for convenient once-daily dosing. Loratadine is commonly used for seasonal allergies (hay fever), year-round allergies, and allergic skin conditions such as urticaria (hives).
Although classed as non-drowsy, a small number of people may still feel tired. Alcohol should be avoided until you know how the medicine affects you.
