Clarityn Allergy 10mg – 30 Tablets

Description

Clarityn Allergy 10mg – 30 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 and itching.

⸻

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, loratadine helps to reduce and relieve these symptoms without causing significant drowsiness in most people.

Directions for Use

Adults and children aged 12 years and over should take one 10mg tablet once daily. The tablet can be taken with or without food. Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours. Clarityn is not recommended for children under 2 years of age; refer to the patient information leaflet for full details on use in children aged 2 to 12 years. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions
