Product Description

Loratadine Tablets - This tablet is an antihistamine medicine that is helpful in the treatment of a runny nose, itching, sneezing, watery eyes, and many other allergies. Loratadine tablets provide relief from itching from hives, but do not prevent serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. It is strictly advised to the patients not to use the loratadine tablets in place of epinephrine. 

An allergy is a kind of reaction by the immune system to environmental proteins. An allergic problem varies from person to person. Loratadine tablets include a non-drowsy antihistamine named "loratadine." This composition helps control the natural chemical histamine that is present in the human body. 

Loratadine produces symptoms like a runny nose, watery eyes, and other allergic symptoms. QndQ Derma is the leading manufacturer of loratadine tablets, sold under the brand name Ltives 10. 

What is the Working Mechanism of the Loratadine Tablet?

The Working Mechanism of Loratadine Tablets has been mentioned below as follows:

Loratadine is a second-generation, non-sedating antihistamine. The 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 such as itching, sneezing, a runny nose, and skin swelling. Therefore, by blocking the H1 receptor, Loratadine prevents histamine from attaching, thereby stopping these symptoms from occurring.
