1. What is Clarityne 10 mg Tablets and what is it used for

What is Clarityne

Clarityne contains the active ingredient loratadine, which belongs to a class of medicines called "antihistamines".

How Clarityne works

Clarityne helps to reduce your allergy symptoms by blocking the effects of a substance called "histamine", which is produced in the body when you are allergic to something.

What Clarityne is used for

Clarityne relieves the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (e.g., hay fever) such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and red or itchy eyes.

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 7 days.

Doctor consultation

2. What you need to know before taking Clarityne 10 mg Tablets

Do not take Clarityne if:

  • you are allergic (hypersensitive) to loratadine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Clarityne if:

  • you have liver disease
  • you are going to have any skin allergy tests. Do not take Clarityne during the 2 days prior to the test. This is because this medicine may alter the test results.

If any of the above conditions affect you (or you are not sure), consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Clarityne.

Children and adolescents

Do not give Clarityne tablets to children under 6 years or children who weigh less than 30 kg. There are other formulations more suitable for children under 6 years or weighing 30 kg or less.

Children under 2 years

The safety and efficacy of Clarityne have not been established. No data are available.

Taking Clarityne with other medicines

The side effects of Clarityne may increase when used with medicines that alter the performance of certain enzymes found in the liver, or if your liver is not functioning properly. In clinical studies, no increase in the side effects of loratadine was observed with medicines that altered the performance of these enzymes.

Tell your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicine, including medicines not requiring a prescription.

Taking Clarityne with alcohol

It has not been demonstrated that Clarityne increases the effects of alcoholic beverages.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

As a precaution, it is preferable to avoid taking Clarityne if you are pregnant.

Do not take Clarityne if you are breastfeeding. Loratadine is excreted in breast milk.

Driving and using machines

In clinical trials that evaluated driving ability, no reduced function was observed in patients who received loratadine. At the recommended dose, it is not expected that Clarityne will cause drowsiness or reduced alertness. However, in very rare cases, some people may experience drowsiness, which may affect their ability to drive or use machines.
