5.0 out of 5 stars Generic Loratadine is the Same as Claritin and Alavert - But Costs Much Less!, April 22, 2007

By	James Koenig "konedog" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Loratadine is an antihistamine that is used for typical allergy symptoms, such as a stuffy or runny nose, itchy watery eyes, scratchy throat (due to allergies), and rashes, itching, and hives. (It can also be used in some cases to limit asthma attacks).

Antihistamines block the release of histamine, a naturally occurring substance in the body that produces all the allergy symptoms we want to get rid of.

There are several antihistamines you can purchase over the counter, Loratadine is a second generation antihistamine, and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is the older first generation product. Loratadine will be a bit more expensive than diphenhydramine, as it is the newer of the two. However, I believe it is a much superior product because is has so few side effects.

The usual dose of Loratadine is 10 mg a day. This offers an advantage over the first generation antihistamines (Benadryl), in that they are dosed every 8 hours. The main and most significant advantage of Loratadine over the first generation antihistamines is that Loratadine will not cause drowsiness and has less overall side effects and less adverse interactions with other medications (and alcohol).

People with liver disease should discuss the use of Loratadine with their doctor. Pregnant women should avoid using Loratadine as studies have shown a risk to the fetus.

Loratadine is very effective in treating allergy symptoms. I like the non-sedating quality and the once daily dosing.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This product gives me nearly a year of protection from serious allergy reactions for a very small price - I can't do better anywhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Notice the name of the original seller of this product., July 30, 2007

By	ken edw (Oregon) - See all my reviews

If you don't recognize who this product was made for originally ask someone, unfortunately they no longer carry it at the stores. Great product, highly recommend. After ordering one bottle, I ordered two more because it is so inexpensive on this web site.
