Loratadine-Pseudoephedrine

This form:

Pronounced

"lor-AT-uh-deen/sue-doh-eff-ED-rin"

Common brand names:

Chlor-Tripolon, Claritin Allergy plus Sinus

Uses

Loratadine is an antihistamine which provides relief of seasonal allergy symptoms such as watery and itching eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant which helps relieve a stuffy nose, promotes sinus draining, and improves breathing.

This medication is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age due to the high amount of pseudoephedrine.

How to Use This Medication

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (every 12 hours) with a full glass of water.

Swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

Do not increase your dose or take this more often than directed.

Do not take this medication for several days before allergy testing since test results can be affected. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
