Alastin 10 mg Tablet

Alastin 10 mg Tablet is an allergy medicine that contains loratadine 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class and is used to help relieve symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching from hives. Alastin 10 mg Tablet is made by Leeford Healthcare Limited and comes as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Loratadine in Alastin 10 mg Tablet blocks histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction, which helps reduce allergy symptoms. Because it is a tablet taken by mouth, the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream and can provide all-day symptom relief for many people without making them as sleepy as older antihistamines.

Alastin 10 mg Tablet provides the standard adult-strength loratadine dose in a swallowable tablet, which is a convenient choice for people who can take tablets once daily. Because this is the full 10 mg strength, it is not a lower-dose or pediatric-style option; a doctor may choose it when a standard daily antihistamine dose is appropriate and simple once-daily use is preferred.
