How It Works
Loratadine, the active ingredient in Loratyn, works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. When histamine binds to its receptors, it triggers responses such as sneezing, itching, and increased mucus production. By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, Loratyn reduces or eliminates these reactions, providing effective allergy relief.
Dosage
The typical dosage for Loratyn is one 10mg tablet taken once daily, with or without food. For children and individuals with liver or kidney impairment, dosage may vary. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for optimal results and safety.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include headache, fatigue, dry mouth, or stomach pain. These are usually mild and transient. Rare but more serious side effects can include fast or uneven heart rate, severe dizziness, or allergic reactions. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms.
Warning
Before taking Loratyn, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, as dosage adjustments may be needed. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness, so limit alcoholic beverages. Although Loratyn is non-drowsy for most people, it can affect individuals differently; use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using Loratyn. The safety of this medication during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established.
Interaction
- May interact with other antihistamines, increasing the risk of side effects
