It is on the WHO List of Essential Medicines. The active metabolite is desloratadine (sold separately as Aerius). Loratadine has minimal CNS penetration, giving negligible sedation in most users.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Loratadine Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Loratadine selectively blocks peripheral H1 histamine receptors with high specificity. By preventing histamine binding, it relieves itching, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and skin wheals. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier in significant amounts at therapeutic doses, hence the lack of sedation that characterises first-generation antihistamines (chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine).<\/p>\n<h2>\u03a7\u03c1\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03bd\u03b4\u03b5\u03af\u03be\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Allergic rhinitis<\/strong> \u2014 seasonal (hay fever) and perennial<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chronic spontaneous urticaria<\/strong> \u2014 hives<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0391\u03bb\u03bb\u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b4\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03c4\u03af\u03b4\u03b1<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Atopic dermatitis adjunct<\/strong> \u2014 for itching<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insect-bite reactions<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Adjunct in allergic asthma<\/strong> with concurrent rhinitis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Alaspan Dosage<\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;margin:12px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#2c7cb0;color:#fff;\">\n<th style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:left;\">\u0391\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03c2<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:left;\">\u0394\u03cc\u03c3\u03b7<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;text-align:left;\">\u03a3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:10px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">Adults &amp;

Claritin (Bayer \/ formerly Schering-Plough) is the international brand; Alaspan is an Indian-market generic.<\/p>\n<h3>Will Alaspan make me drowsy?<\/h3>\n<p>Less than 8% of users report drowsiness \u2014 most people can drive and work normally on it. If drowsy, take it at night.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does Alaspan take to work?<\/h3>\n<p>Onset within 1 hour; full effect within 3 hours; duration 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Can children take Alaspan?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes from age 2 in age-appropriate strength (5 mg under 30 kg; 10 mg above 30 kg).<\/p>\n<h3>Is Alaspan safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 loratadine has reassuring observational pregnancy data. It is among the preferred antihistamines in pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h3>How does Alaspan compare to cetirizine or fexofenadine?<\/h3>\n<p>All three are non-sedating second-generation H1 antihistamines. Cetirizine has slightly more potential drowsiness than loratadine. Fexofenadine has the lowest drowsiness rate. All are equally effective for most allergy symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Alaspan replace my inhaler for asthma?<\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 antihistamines treat the rhinitis component but do not control asthma bronchospasm. Continue your inhalers.<\/p>\n<h3>How long can I take Alaspan?<\/h3>\n<p>Long-term daily use is acceptable for chronic urticaria and perennial rhinitis. No tolerance develops with chronic use.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I take Alaspan with my other allergy medications?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 loratadine combines well with intranasal steroids (Flomist, Furamist), montelukast (Montair), and short antihistamine eye drops.
