loratadine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loratadine\u00a0Ratiopharm is used for allergic conditions such as sneezing, runny nose,\u00a0itchy\u00a0nose,\u00a0itching,\u00a0and burning in the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Loratadine\u00a0Ratiopharm is an\u00a0antihistamine\u00a0that does not cause fatigue and is used to treat certain allergic diseases.\u00a0This drug works by blocking the effect of\u00a0histamine\u00a0which is involved and causes allergic reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The allergic problems can be caused by e.g.\u00a0pollen, fur animals, mites, or dust.\u00a0Pollen allergy\u00a0is seasonal to the pollen periods.\u00a0Allergy\u00a0to fur animals, mites, or dust can, on the other hand, occur all year round.\u00a0This type of\u00a0allergy\u00a0can be treated temporarily if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common runny nose, so-called “cold runny nose” is caused by a\u00a0virus\u00a0and then antihistamines have no effect.\u00a0Loratadine\u00a0Ratiopharm should therefore not be used for colds other than allergic rhinitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
