1. What is Desloratadine Sopharma and what is it used for

What is Desloratadine Sopharma

Desloratadine Sopharma contains desloratadine - a substance with antihistamine action.

How Desloratadine Sopharma works

Desloratadine is an antiallergic medicine that does not cause drowsiness. It helps control allergic reactions and their symptoms.

When to use Desloratadine Sopharma

Desloratadine relieves symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by an allergy, e.g. hay fever or allergy to dust mites) in adults, adolescents, and children aged 12 and above. These symptoms include: sneezing, runny nose or nasal itching, itching of the palate, and itching, redness, or tearing of the eyes. Desloratadine is also used to relieve symptoms associated with urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy). These symptoms include itching and hives. Relief of these symptoms lasts throughout the day, making it easier to return to normal daily activities and normal sleep.

2. Important information before taking Desloratadine Sopharma

If you have persistent allergic rhinitis (symptoms that occur for four or more days a week and for more than four weeks), your doctor may recommend longer treatment with the medicine. The duration of treatment for urticaria may vary from person to person. Therefore, you should follow your doctor's recommendations.
