Desloratadine TecniGen is a non-sedating antihistamine medication that helps control allergic reactions and their symptoms.

Desloratadine TecniGen relieves symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergy, such as hay fever or allergy to dust mites and pollen). These symptoms include sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy palate, and itchy, red, or watery eyes.

Desloratadine TecniGen is also used to relieve symptoms associated with urticaria (a skin disease caused by an allergy). These symptoms include itching and skin hives.

Relief from these symptoms lasts a full day and helps you continue your daily activities and normal sleep periods.
