Claritin

Product Description:

Claritin is an over the counter (OTC) antihistamine medication used to relieve allergy symptoms. Its active ingredient, loratadine, is a non drowsy antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions. Claritin is commonly used for seasonal allergies (hay fever) and indoor allergies, such as pet dander or dust mites.

Uses of Claritin:

Allergy Relief: Helps alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itchy throat.
Chronic Hives: Used to treat chronic hives (urticaria) and skin itching caused by allergic reactions.
Non Drowsy: Provides relief without causing drowsiness, making it ideal for daytime use.

Key Considerations:

Dosage: Take one tablet per day, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Interactions: Claritin is generally safe but may interact with certain medications, including other antihistamines or cold medicines. Consult a healthcare provider if you are taking other medications.
Side Effects: Common side effects are rare but may include dry mouth, fatigue, or headaches. If you experience severe allergic reactions or unusual symptoms, discontinue use and seek medical attention.

By understanding the proper use of Claritin, you can manage allergy symptoms effectively without drowsiness. Always follow the label instructions or consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
