CLARITIN-D INFORMATION

How does Claritin-D Work

Claritin-D is composed of Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine.
Loratadine is an antihistamine that provides relief from symptoms of seasonal and allergic rhinitis (e.g., hay fever) such as watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes and sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that relieves congestion, promotes sinus draining and improves breathing.

How To Take Claritin-D

Swallow the claritin-D tablet whole with a full glass of water.

Do not chew or crush the tablet, as doing so will destroy the long action and may increase the side effects.

Do not increase the dose or take claritin-D more frequently than prescribed.

Claritin-D Side effects

Claritin-D may cause difficulty in sleeping, dry mouth, mild stomach upset, headache, nervousness, dizziness, loss of appetite or thirst. These effects should subside as your body adjusts to claritin-D. If they persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. Loratadine does not usually cause drowsiness when used at recommended doses and under normal circumstances. However, be sure of claritin-D's effects before engaging in activities that require alertness.

Notify your doctor if you develop: heart pounding, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, ringing in the ears, difficulty urinating. An allergic reaction to claritin-D is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

If you have glaucoma, diabetes, difficulty urinating, an enlarged prostate gland, heart, kidney, liver, or respiratory disease, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid gland or have serious difficulty in swallowing, do not use Claritin-D unless your doctor knows of your medical condition.
