About Loratadine BP/USP/EP

Loratadine is a second-generation antihistamine widely used to relieve symptoms of allergic conditions such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and chronic urticaria (hives). It works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors, which helps reduce symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose without causing significant drowsiness. Loratadine is preferred over first-generation antihistamines due to its minimal sedative effects and longer duration of action. It is commonly available in oral tablets, syrups, and rapidly disintegrating formulations, making it a popular choice for allergy management worldwide.
