Loratadine Dispersible Tablets

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacological action: This product is a long-acting tricyclic antihistamine that can relieve seasonal allergic rhinitis or non-nasal symptoms by selectively binding to peripheral H1 receptors. Toxicological studies: Genetic toxicity: No mutagenic effect of loratadine was observed in the Ames test, forward point mutation test, DNA damage test, and chromosome aberration test. In the mouse lymphoma test, positive results were observed in the inactive state and negative results in the activated state. Reproductive toxicity: Oral administration of loratadine to male rats at a dose of 64 mg/kg (approximately 50 times the clinically recommended maximum daily oral dose, calculated based on body surface area) can cause decreased fertility, as manifested by a decrease in the pregnancy rate of female rats. Oral administration of loratadine at a dose of 24 mg/kg

This product can be secreted from breast milk, and antihistamines are very dangerous to infants, especially newborns and premature infants. Breastfeeding must be stopped during the medication period.
