What is Delortan

Delortan contains desloratadine, which is an antihistamine.

How Delortan works

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

When to use Delortan

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.

Driving and using machines

The duration of treatment with Delortan will be determined by your doctor, depending on the type of allergic rhinitis you have. If you have intermittent allergic rhinitis (symptoms that occur for less than 4 days a week or for less than 4 weeks), your doctor will recommend a treatment schedule based on your medical history. If you have persistent allergic rhinitis (symptoms that occur for 4 or more days a week and for more than 4 weeks), your doctor may recommend longer treatment. For urticaria, the duration of treatment may vary from patient to patient. Therefore, you should follow your doctor's advice.
