Lorat Tablet 10 mg contains Loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine widely used to relieve symptoms associated with allergic conditions. It is designed for adults and children above 12 years who suffer from hay fever, allergic rhinitis, urticaria (hives), and other allergic manifestations.

Unlike first-generation antihistamines, Loratadine works selectively on peripheral H1 histamine receptors without causing significant drowsiness, making it suitable for individuals who require alertness during daily activities. This non-sedating antihistamine effectively alleviates sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes, and skin rashes caused by allergic reactions.

Mechanism of Action

Loratadine provides relief from allergy symptoms through:

• H1 receptor antagonism: Blocks the action of histamine, a chemical responsible for allergy symptoms, on peripheral H1 receptors.

• Reduction of allergic inflammation: Prevents histamine-induced vasodilation and increased capillary permeability, which reduces swelling, redness, and itching.

• Non-sedating effect: Does not significantly cross the blood-brain barrier, minimizing drowsiness commonly associated with older antihistamines.

Through this mechanism, Lorat Tablet 10 mg provides rapid and long-lasting relief from common allergy symptoms.

Indications

Lorat Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:

• Allergic rhinitis: Seasonal or perennial hay fever causing sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

• Chronic urticaria: Management of itching and hives caused by long-term allergic skin conditions.

• Other allergies: Relief from allergic reactions to food, insect bites, or medications under medical supervision.

It is not suitable for children under 2 years, individuals with severe liver impairment, or those with a known hypersensitivity to Loratadine.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual dose for adults and children above 12 years is 10 mg once daily, taken orally with or without food.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any other ongoing medication before starting Loratadine.
