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

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

Desloratadina Vir 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.

Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older): take one tablet once a day. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.

Regarding the duration of treatment, your doctor will determine the type of allergic rhinitis you have and how long you should take Desloratadina Vir.

If your allergic rhinitis is intermittent (presence of symptoms for less than 4 days a week or for less than 4 weeks), your doctor will recommend a treatment schedule based on the evaluation of your medical history.

If your allergic rhinitis is persistent (presence of symptoms for 4 or more days a week and for more than 4 weeks), your doctor may recommend long-term treatment.

For urticaria, the duration of treatment may vary from one patient to another, and therefore, you should follow your doctor's instructions.

If you take more Desloratadina Vir than you should

Take Desloratadina Vir only as your doctor has indicated. An accidental overdose is not expected to cause serious problems.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
