Claritin

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Claritin but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Claritin
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Loratadine, a non-sedating H1-blocker similar in structure to cyproheptadine and azatadine, is used to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis. Unlike other H1-blockers, loratidine does not penetrate the CNS effectively and has a low affinity for CNS H1-receptors. For the relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis and for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria in patients 2 years of age or older

Mechanism Of Action:
Like other H1-blockers, loratadine competes with free histamine for binding at H1-receptors in the GI tract, uterus, large blood vessels, and bronchial muscle. Loratadine also has a weak affinity for acetylcholine and alpha-adrenergic receptors.
