Mechanism of Action of Loratadine 10 mg Tablets

Loratadine is a second-generation, non-sedating antihistamine. Its mechanism of action works through the following steps:

Selective Blockade of H1 Histamine Receptors

Loratadine works by selectively blocking H1 receptors in the body.
Histamine, released during an allergic reaction, binds to these receptors and causes symptoms like:

• Itching
• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Redness
• Watery eyes
• Skin swelling

By blocking the H1 receptor, Loratadine prevents histamine from attaching, thereby stopping these symptoms from occurring.

Prevents the Release of Allergy-Based Chemical Responses

Loratadine decreases:

• Vasodilation
• Increased vascular permeability
• Sensory nerve activation
• Smooth muscle contraction

This prevents swelling, redness, and irritation.

Does Not Cross the Blood–Brain Barrier Significantly

Unlike first-generation antihistamines, Loratadine:

• Does not significantly enter the central nervous system (CNS)
• Causes minimal or no drowsiness

This makes it a non-sedative antihistamine ideal for daytime use.

Long-Acting Action

Loratadine binds selectively and stays attached to H1 receptors for a prolonged period, providing relief for up to 24 hours with just one dose
