Claritine 10mg Tablets 20s is a non-drowsy, long-acting second-generation antihistamine containing Loratadine (10mg), engineered to provide fast, 24-hour symptomatic relief from hay fever, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and chronic hives.

1

Overview & Mechanism of Action

  • Claritine 10mg Tablets (20-tablet pack) delivers continuous 24-hour relief from upper respiratory and cutaneous allergic symptoms through selective peripheral histamine inhibition:
  • Selective Peripheral $\text{H}_1$-Receptor Antagonism (Loratadine 10mg): Potently and selectively blocks peripheral histamine $\text{H}_1$ receptors on effector cells, inhibiting histamine-mediated capillary permeability, vasodilation, and smooth muscle constriction triggered during allergic cascades.
  • Non-Sedating 24-Hour Coverage: Exhibits minimal affinity for central nervous system histamine receptors and does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier at recommended clinical doses, providing 24-hour continuous symptom control without causing sedation.
  • Rapid Onset of Action: Quickly absorbed after oral ingestion, initiating noticeable symptom relief within 1 to 3 hours and reaching peak concentration to maintain day-long protection with a single daily dose.

Clinical Indications

  • Claritine 10mg Tablets 20s is indicated for:
  • Fast relief of nasal and ocular symptoms associated with seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, rhinorrhea (runny nose), nasal itching, and burning or watery eyes
  • Relief of symptoms associated with chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives), including reduction of skin redness, itching, and localized wheals

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Precautions & Warnings:
