FAQ

Is loratadine drowsy or non-drowsy?

Loratadine is known as a non-drowsy antihistamine. Some people taking loratadine antihistamine may feel slightly sleepy, but loratadine 10mg is classified as non-drowsy. Loratadine antihistamine is much less likely to make you feel sleepy than some other antihistamines.

How do you take loratadine 10 mg?

The NHS advice states that you can take all types of loratadine with or without food. If you forget to take a dose of loratadine, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In this case, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. It is not recommended to take two doses to make up for a forgotten dose.

How long should you take loratadine 10 mg tablets for?

How long you'll take loratadine 10 mg depends on why you're taking it. For hayfever treatment, the NHS advises taking it as a preventative measure when the pollen count is high. However, if you’re using after an insect bite, you may only need to take it for a day or two as a one-off dose. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're not sure how long you need to take loratadine for.
