| Description |
Desloratadine is a second generation of tricyclic antihistamine. It is a H1-receptor antagonist which has anti-inflammatory activity. Its affinity to the H1 receptor is higher than most other H1-receptor antagonists. Desloratadine works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) which is produced during an allergic reaction. Desloratidine has a long-lasting effect and does not cause drowsiness because it does not readily enter the central nervous system.
Desloratadine is used to treat nasal and non-nasal symptoms (watery eyes, runny nose, itching eyes/nose, sneezing, and itching) of seasonal allergic rhinitis. It is also used to relieve chronic itching caused by hives. |
