Deslor 5 mg Tablet

Deslor 5 mg Tablet is a prescription allergy medicine that contains 5 mg of desloratadine in each tablet. It belongs to the antihistamine class and is used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching. Deslor 5 mg Tablet may also be used for hives, depending on your doctor’s advice. The tablet is made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Desloratadine blocks histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. In tablet form, Deslor 5 mg Tablet helps calm allergy symptoms throughout the day after you swallow it.

Each Deslor 5 mg Tablet provides the full 5 mg tablet strength, so it is meant for people whose doctor has decided this dose is appropriate. Because it is a standard tablet strength rather than a liquid or lower-dose form, it fits routine once-daily dosing for adults and some older children as directed by a clinician. Your doctor may choose Deslor 5 mg Tablet if they want a simple, steady daily antihistamine dose.
