Clarityn Allergy 10mg – 14 Tablets

Description

Clarityn Allergy 10mg – 14 Tablets

Clarityn Allergy 10mg Tablets contain loratadine, a non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of hayfever and other allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin reactions like hives.

⸻

How It Works

Loratadine works by blocking histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a natural chemical released during an allergic reaction that causes symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and a runny nose. By blocking histamine, Clarityn helps to reduce and relieve these uncomfortable symptoms. Unlike older antihistamines, loratadine is classed as non-drowsy at the recommended dose.

Directions for Use

Adults and children aged 6 years and over: take one 10mg tablet once a day. The tablet can be taken with or without food. Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours. For children under 6 years of age, consult a doctor before use. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions

Loratadine may interact with certain medicines including cimetidine (used for indigestion), ketoconazole (an antifungal), and erythromycin (an antibiotic), which may increase the level of loratadine in your blood. Some medicines used to treat anxiety, epilepsy, or depression may also interact with loratadine. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

⸻

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Loratadine is not recommended during pregnancy as its safety has not been fully established. Loratadine passes into breast milk in small amounts, so use during breastfeeding is not generally recommended. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

Although loratadine is a non-drowsy antihistamine, drinking alcohol while taking this medicine may increase the risk of drowsiness. It is advisable to limit alcohol consumption whilst taking Clarityn Allergy Tablets.

⸻

Driving and Operating Machinery

Clarityn is classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine and is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or operate machinery at the recommended dose. However, a small number of people may still experience drowsiness. If you feel affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
