Warnings and precautions
Before taking Aleric Lora, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist.
- if you have severe liver impairment (see section 3. How to take Aleric Lora).
Skin tests:
You should stop taking the medicine about 48 hours before scheduled allergic skin tests, as antihistamines may cause false-negative results of these tests (may reduce or completely inhibit the skin reaction that would normally be positive).
Children
The medicine should not be taken by children under 2 years of age.
It is not recommended to take tablets (10 mg) in children whose body weight is less than 30 kg.
Aleric Lora and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking now or have taken recently, as well as about medicines you plan to take.
This also applies to medicines available without a prescription.
Side effects may be exacerbated when taken with medicines that affect the activity of certain enzymes responsible for drug metabolism in the liver.
However, in clinical trials, no exacerbation of side effects was observed when loratadine was taken with medicines that affect the activity of these enzymes.
In the case of concomitant administration of loratadine and antibiotics (erythromycin), antifungal agents (ketoconazole), cimetidine (used in gastric and duodenal ulcer disease), an increase in loratadine plasma concentration may occur, but without clinical consequences.
Concomitant administration with loratadine of medicines that affect liver metabolism should be carried out under medical supervision.
Aleric Lora with food, drink, and alcohol
The medicine can be taken regardless of meals.
Loratadine taken simultaneously with alcohol does not enhance its effect, as shown in psychomotor performance studies.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
As a precaution, it is recommended to avoid taking Aleric Lora during pregnancy.
Loratadine passes into breast milk, so you should not take Aleric Lora while breastfeeding.
There are no data on fertility in men and women.
Driving and using machines
In clinical trials, loratadine did not affect or had no significant effect on the ability to drive and use machines.
In some people, very rare cases of drowsiness occurred, which may impair the ability to drive and use machines.
Aleric Lora contains lactose
If you have been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, you should contact your doctor before taking the medicine.
