Loratin 10 mg Tablet

Loratin 10 mg Tablet is an oral antihistamine tablet that contains 10 mg of loratadine in each tablet. It is used to help relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching caused by seasonal allergies, indoor allergies, and hives. Loratin 10 mg Tablet is a non-drowsy or low-sedating second-generation antihistamine for many people, though some patients can still feel sleepy. This product comes as a tablet from Cipla, India, in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Loratadine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance your body releases during allergic reactions. In tablet form, Loratin 10 mg Tablet is swallowed whole and starts working after it is absorbed into the body to help reduce allergy symptoms.

Loratin 10 mg Tablet provides the standard adult-strength dose of loratadine in a simple swallow tablet. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 10 mg tablet is the form typically used when a clinician wants the usual once-daily loratadine dose in tablet form. It may be chosen for adults and older children who can swallow tablets and need straightforward, long-acting allergy relief.
