Allergic Rhinitis: This condition refers to the inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergic reaction to allergens. Symptoms include nasal congestion, clear rhinitis (runny nose), sneezing, nasal mucus discharge, and itching. These reactions are typically managed with antihistamines.
Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU): CIU is characterized by the frequent appearance of red, itchy hives on the skin, which can persist for six weeks or more. Treatment is based on the severity of the symptoms and often involves antihistamines such as desloratadine.
Skin Allergies: These occur when the immune system reacts to an allergen, resulting in various skin symptoms such as redness, itching, blisters, eczema, and hives. The treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the reaction but often includes oral antihistamines like desloratadine to manage symptoms.
Desloratadine is a tricyclic antihistamine primarily used for the treatment of allergies and their symptoms. It works by blocking the action of histamine, thereby reducing symptoms of allergic rhinitis, chronic idiopathic urticaria, and skin allergies.
Liver and Kidney Issues: If you have liver or kidney problems, it is crucial to inform your doctor before taking loratadine.
Testing Interference: Loratadine may interfere with the results of certain tests, such as skin allergy tests, potentially leading to false results. Therefore, always inform the laboratory personnel.
Potential Side Effects: While rare, some side effects of loratadine can include headaches, irritability, diarrhea, vomiting, severe or new allergic reactions, and irregular heartbeat or palpitations.
The recommended dose is 5 mg daily, one or two tablets as prescribed by your doctor, based on individual conditions.
It is best to take this medication in the evening for more effective results.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with your doctor or pharmacist before using loratadine to ensure it is safe for you.
