How Delortan works

Delortan is an anti-allergic medicine that does not cause drowsiness. It helps control allergic reactions and their symptoms.

Delortan relieves the symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever or allergy to dust mites) in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. Symptoms include: sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy palate, and itchy, red, or watery eyes. Delortan is also used to relieve the symptoms of urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy). Symptoms of this condition include: itchy skin and hives. Relief of these symptoms persists throughout the day, making it easier to return to normal daily activities and normal sleep.
