Uses of Claritin

Claritin Tablets are an over-the-counter antihistamine medication that contains loratadine as the active ingredient. It is commonly used to treat symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, and itching caused by hives. Loratadine is a second-generation antihistamine, which generally causes less drowsiness compared to first-generation antihistamines.

Precautions and Warnings

Allergic Reactions: Do not use Claritin Tablets if you are allergic to loratadine or any other components in the medication. Signs of an allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, or trouble breathing.

Liver or Kidney Issues: If you have liver or kidney problems, particularly severe liver disease, consult your healthcare provider before using Claritin, as the dosage may need adjustment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Claritin during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. While it is considered to be generally safe, it’s always best to seek medical advice.

Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor if you are taking other medications, especially any other antihistamines or medications that could interact with loratadine. Some drugs, like certain antifungals or antibiotics, may affect how loratadine works.

Drowsiness: Loratadine is less likely to cause drowsiness compared to older antihistamines, but it can affect some individuals. Be cautious when driving or engaging in activities that require full alertness if you experience drowsiness or dizziness.
