Description

How Does Loratadine 10mg Tablets Work?

Loratadine, the active ingredient in these tablets, is an antihistamine. It works by blocking histamine, a natural substance in the body responsible for allergy symptoms. When you encounter allergens like pollen or pet dander, histamine is released, causing symptoms like sneezing and itching. Loratadine inhibits histamine from binding to its receptors, thereby relieving or preventing these allergic reactions.
