What are Loratadine Tablets?
Loratadine is ideal for people who are suffering from hay fever or other allergies. This product contains 10mg of Loratadine in each tablet, which provides relief from itchy or watery eyes, sneezing, coughs, or any other hayfever and allergy symptoms when you need it most.
What happens when I have hay fever or allergies?
When you suffer from hay fever or have an allergic reaction to pet hair or dust mites, your body reacts to whatever it is that triggers your allergy. Your body begins to make a chemical called histamine, which is what causes the symptoms of an allergic reaction. This is when you get a runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughs, and sneezes.
How does Loratadine relieve hay fever symptoms?
Loratadine contains 10mg of an active ingredient called Loratadine, which is an antihistamine. Antihistamines work to block histamine, meaning that Loratadine tablets directly block the cause of allergic reactions in your body. This is how Loratadine tablets work to provide quick and effective relief to symptoms of hay fever or allergies.
Is Loratadine the best choice for me?
