1. What is CLARITIN and what is it used for?
CLARITIN are white to off-white, notched oval tablets debossed with “10” on one side and plain on the other.
CLARITIN contains the active ingredient loratadine, which is a member of a class of drugs called “antihistamines”.
CLARITIN helps to reduce your allergy symptoms by stopping the effects of a substance called “histamine” produced by your body when you are allergic to anything.
CLARITIN is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria, seasonal and chronic (perennial) allergic rhinitis. CLARITINE also helps to relieve the symptoms (itching and redness) of the condition commonly known as urticaria (hives).
The effect of CLARITIN lasts all day and will help you maintain your normal daily activities and sleep patterns.
If you do not feel better but feel worse, you should definitely talk to your doctor.
2. How to use CLARITIN?
Always take CLARITIN as directed in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse has told you. If you are unsure, consult your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
The notch on the tablet is not to divide the tablet into equal doses, but to facilitate breaking the tablet for ease of swallowing.
