About Loratus Syrup
Loratus Syrup is used to treat allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is characterised by a runny nose, sneezing, red, watery, itchy, and swollen eyes occurring due to exposure to allergens. Urticaria is an itchy skin reaction triggered by various factors, including food, medications, or other irritants.
Loratus Syrup contains ‘desloratadine’, which acts as an antihistamine. It blocks the action of histamines (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reduces the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms.
Loratus Syrup may cause side effects such as fatigue (lack of energy), dry mouth, and headache. In general, these side effects typically subside without treatment. However, if these persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately.
Do not use Loratus Syrup if you are allergic to desloratadine or any other contents present in it. Inform your doctor if you have previously been diagnosed with seizures (fits) and liver or kidney failure. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
