Loratadine - Overview

Loratadine is a medication sometimes used in treating symptoms related to inflammatory conditions such as seasonal allergies. People who are interested in prescription loratadine can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe loratadine medication, including generic loratadine 10 mg and loratadine 5 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Loratadine Used For?

Loratadine medication, marketed under the brand name Claritin, belongs to a class of medications known as peripheral histamine H1 receptor agonists - similar to the medications cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra) and levocetirizine (Xyzal). More specifically, loratadine can be considered a long-acting tricyclic antihistamine medication. One of the potential advantages of loratadine over other antihistamine medications is that loratadine does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier substantially. The result of this is that loratadine may not cause as much sleepiness or sedation. Loratadine is frequently used in helping relieve symptoms of rhinitis due to seasonal allergies.

Loratadine - Dosage and Cost

Loratadine tends to be available in the form of loratadine tablets, loratadine syrup and loratadine reditabs (rapidly disintegrating tablets). Loratadine itself is found as a white powder that does not dissolve in water. After oral administration, loratadine typically reaches a maximum concentration in under three hours in healthy people. Food can delay absorption of loratadine. Via cytochrome P450 enzymes, loratadine is metabolized to descarboethoxyloratadine after which it is eliminated in the feces and the urine. Generic loratadine is considered affordable, costing approximately 30 cents or less per loratadine 10 mg tablet at many pharmacies in the United States. Loratadine is covered by some insurance plans when obtained using a prescription. Loratadine coupons are also available online or through the manufacturer at times.

Can I Buy Loratadine Online?

Loratadine OTC is available in the United States and some people use that option. However, some insurance plans will cover the costs associated with a loratadine prescription if the drug is prescribed by a medical provider. For prescription loratadine, one cannot just buy loratadine online without first consulting a provider. People who need a loratadine prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe loratadine, including loratadine 10 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

Loratadine - Side Effects

Prior to using loratadine medication, it is important to discuss possible side effects with one's medical provider. Side effects that can result from loratadine use include somnolence, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, fatigue, and pharyngitis. Loratadine and alcohol should not be used at the same time and use of machinery should be avoided while using the medication. Loratadine tablets should be used cautiously by people with liver problems. People with a hypersensitivity to generic loratadine, branded forms or similar medications should not use loratadine prescription medication.
