Lorata-D
Loratadine/pseudoephed 24hr


Loratadine is an antihistamine which provides relief from symptoms of seasonal allergies such as watery and itching eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant which helps relieve a stuffy nose, promotes sinus draining, and improves breathing. Lorata-D is not recommended for use in children under 12 years of age due to the high amount of pseudoephedrine.
