Claritine 20 Tablets

Description:

Claritine 20 Tablets (claritine 10 mg 20 tab) is an oral antihistamine medicine containing loratadine, a second-generation H1 receptor antagonist. It is used for fast and long-lasting relief of allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and skin allergies like urticaria (hives). Claritine is non-sedating at recommended doses in most patients, making it suitable for daytime use to control seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis and other allergic conditions.

• Relief of ocular allergy symptoms such as red, itchy, and watery eyes associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
• Treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives), including itchy, raised, red skin rashes.
• Management of mild, uncomplicated angioedema as part of allergy control (under medical supervision).
• Adjunctive therapy in other allergic conditions such as vasomotor rhinitis and dermatographism, as directed by a physician.
• Supportive treatment to ameliorate allergic reactions to blood or plasma transfusions, as prescribed by a doctor.
