Summary
Desloratadine is used to treat allergy symptoms, which include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. It is effective for seasonal allergies and can also be used for chronic hives, which are itchy, raised welts on the skin.
Desloratadine works by blocking histamine, which is a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions. By preventing histamine from working, it helps reduce symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
The usual starting dose of Desloratadine for adults is 5 mg once daily, which can be taken with or without food. For children aged 6 to 11 years, the typical dose is 2.5 mg once daily.
Common side effects of Desloratadine include headache, fatigue, and dry mouth. These effects are generally mild and occur in a small percentage of users.
Desloratadine should not be used by individuals who are allergic to it or its ingredients. It may cause drowsiness, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Always consult your doctor before starting Desloratadine, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
