Loratadine is a second-generation antihistamine widely used to relieve symptoms of allergic conditions such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and chronic urticaria (hives). It works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors, which helps reduce symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose without causing significant drowsiness. Loratadine is preferred over first-generation antihistamines due to its minimal sedative effects and longer duration of action. It is commonly available in oral tablets, syrups, and rapidly disintegrating formulations, making it a popular choice for allergy management worldwide.
Loratadine works by selectively blocking H1 histamine receptors located on cells in the body’s tissues. By preventing histamine—a chemical released during allergic reactions—from binding to these receptors, loratadine reduces allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. Because it primarily acts on peripheral H1 receptors and does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, loratadine causes minimal sedation compared to first-generation antihistamines.
