Clarityn Allergy 10mg – 7 Tablets

Description

Clarityn Allergy 10mg – 7 Tablets

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

⸻

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 like sneezing, itching, and a runny nose. By blocking histamine, loratadine helps to reduce and relieve these symptoms without causing significant drowsiness in most people.

Interactions

Loratadine may interact with certain medicines, including some antibiotics (such as erythromycin), antifungals (such as ketoconazole), and cimetidine (used for indigestion), which may increase the level of loratadine in the blood. Grapefruit juice may also affect how loratadine is processed in the body. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

⸻

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

The safety of loratadine during pregnancy has not been fully established, and it is not recommended for use during the first trimester without medical guidance. Loratadine passes into breast milk in small amounts and is generally not recommended during breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.

⸻

Alcohol

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

⸻

Clarityn is classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine and is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or operate machinery in most people. However, a small number of people may still experience drowsiness or dizziness. Do not drive or use machinery if you are affected in this way.
