Loratadine 10mg Tablets are a non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve a wide range of allergy-related symptoms. These tablets are ideal for managing seasonal hay fever, year-round allergic rhinitis, and skin allergies such as chronic hives (urticaria). They are especially helpful for individuals who need effective symptom relief without experiencing fatigue or reduced alertness during the day.
Each tablet contains 10mg of loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine known for its long-lasting action and low risk of drowsiness. Suitable for both adults and children aged six and above (weighing over 30kg), Loratadine provides 24-hour protection from common allergic triggers such as pollen, dust mites, animal dander, and insect bites.
How It Works
Loratadine works by blocking histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is the chemical your immune system releases when reacting to an allergen. This release causes symptoms like sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. By preventing histamine from attaching to its receptors, Loratadine stops the allergic reaction at its source. As a result, symptoms reduce or disappear without interfering with the body’s natural energy levels or mental clarity.
Why Choose Loratadine
Many people prefer Loratadine because it offers effective, once-daily symptom relief with minimal side effects. Unlike older antihistamines, it does not easily cross into the brain, meaning it is far less likely to cause drowsiness. In addition, Loratadine works quickly—often within one to two hours—and remains active for a full day. This makes it particularly convenient for people with busy lifestyles or who need to stay focused at work or school.
Furthermore, Loratadine is widely available without a prescription in the UK and is trusted by both healthcare professionals and patients alike for reliable and consistent allergy control.
Important Note
Loratadine 10mg Tablets are classified as a General Sales List (GSL) medicine in the UK.
Although they are available over the counter, always read the label carefully. If your symptoms do not improve or you have underlying health conditions, speak to a pharmacist or GP before continuing use.
