Clarityne 10mg Tablets 10s contain loratadine 10mg, an antihistamine used to provide symptomatic relief from common allergic conditions. Loratadine belongs to the second-generation antihistamine group and works primarily by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical involved in allergic reactions.
Histamine can cause symptoms such as sneezing, itching, a runny nose and watery eyes. By blocking histamine at peripheral H1 receptors, loratadine helps reduce these symptoms while generally causing less drowsiness than older antihistamines when taken at the recommended dose.
