Get StartedWhat is Loratadine?
Loratadine belongs to a group of drugs called anti-histamines and can be used to treat the symptoms of allergic reactions. It can be used to treat hay fever and related symptoms such as itchy/watery eyes, skin reactions, bites/stings, eczema and certain food related allergies.
It is categorised as a non-drowsy anti-histamine which means you are less likely to feel tired and sleepy after taking the medication compared to some of the more traditional anti-histamines.
Loratadine is readily available through most pharmacies and comes in both a tablet and liquid preparation. It is available as a generic drug in addition to the well known brand Claritin.
How to take Loratadine
You should take Loratadine exactly as prescribed by your clinician.
The usual dose for adults is 10mg daily (one tablet). Doses may need calculating if taking a liquid preparation.
Doses will need to be reduced in patients with hepatic impairment (see your GP before taking this medication if you have ever been told your liver function is reduced).
Doses for children are usually calculated by taking the childs age and weight into account.
The medication does not need to be taken with food or without food but should be taken with a glass of water and swallowed whole without chewing the tablet (although tablets with a score down the middle can be halved if you have difficuly in swallowing it whole).
The medication can be taken daily to prevent the symptoms of hay fever appearing. Alternatively, it can be taken on a when required basis only when symptoms present themselves. If you take it regularly and you forget to take a dose at the normal time, then take it as soon as you remember unless it is getting close to when your next dose would be due. Never take a double dose.
