User Reviews for loratadine oral

no complications. Sneezing & runny nose resolved leaving my nose less irritated

My daughter usually takes Claritin for her allergies and it works very well for her, this year her pediatrician (we usually see the allergist) prescribed her with Silarx Loratadine Oral Solution. And her relief her has come no where close to what it does when she's taking Claritin, it looks like we'll be switching back.

doesn't always stop the itching and was wondering if it contain pseudophedramine

The tablets I take on a daily basis have helped me control my allergies and, in turn, helped control my asthma.

This is the worst medication I've ever taken to relieve allergy symptoms! I am throwing the rest away!

After turning 30 I suddently developed a painful cystic acne, ugh. After my doctor prescribed Lamotrigine (Claritn) for my allergies my acne disappeard - immediately - 100%. However it wasn't working for my allergies and I didn't realize the connection so my doctor prescribed a new allergy medication for me to try. As soon as I went off the Lamotrigine my acne was back with a vengence. I'm not sure what is causing the acne that the Lamotringe treats but I take it once a day and have been acne free for 3 years now. Read More Read Less

My 2yr old son has been taking this for a few months like the doctor ordered for allergies but never really worked...no side effects just not effective.

Iam border line c.o.p.d. and loratadine along with mucinex d helps me breathe easier by dying up much of my mucus.

I've been on this for years, originally suggested by my doctor. I have seasonal allergies and am allergic to cats. Pollen is a big trigger for me. Most allergy meds make me extremely tired and this never has. I didn't notice any side effects, but I have noticed that the longer i've been on it the less it works. If i'm around a strong trigger (such as cats), I usually need to take two (not recommended) or another medication. I take it once daily in the morning. On occasion when my allergies are bad during season changes, I have to take a different allergy medication at night. Still using it after a few years.Read More Read Less

Have taken it almost daily for 5 years. No problems. No more congestion. No more sinus infections.

I'm someone who once suffered from horrendous allergies & hay fever, often losing my voice up to 5 or 6 times per year in addition to dealing with what I thought was a "cold" every 2 or 3 months...misery at its finest. In Feb 2011, I decided to try generic Claritin & I will tell you that this little pill became a miracle. I not only DIDN'T suffer from allergies at all that year, but those so-called "colds" never reared their ugly heads even once. To my amazement, this trend continued throughout 2012 as I continued to take this inexpensive gem. HOWEVER...in early 2012, I started noticing little things. Feeling a little "off" at work, becoming a little more irritable than usual at home while doing chores (if I even got up to do them at all!), a racing heartbeat at night as I was drifting off to sleep...I just chocked these things up to "stress" & decided to take steps to manage my stress better & continued about my daily life. Coincidentally, this month (Jan 2013), I decided that I was going to do a "cleanse" (new year's resolution), & that also included giving myself a little "break" from the Claritin...after all, I'm safe from springtime pollen right now. Well, I've now started noticing some new "things"...less irritability, more gumption to do things &, wait, where did my nightly racing heartbeat go? I gave it some time but ultimately decided to look up side effects for Claritin, & was amazed to find that some of the things I had started experiencing after a year of taking it was also affecting others! I had been so pleased by the relief from allergies that I never bothered looking at what else this little pill could do. So, while this medication may also help you, please be careful & not only read all information about it, but also pay close attention to yourself! I will not be going back on Claritin & will seek another allergy relief to start taking before spring gets here.Read More Read Less

I have been taking 10 mgs. daily for allergies, and I still have a runny nose and itchy throat.... it doesn't seem to make a difference if I take it or not.

Been taking Claritin and now the generic Loratidine for what seems like forever. It was very effective for my allergies but I'm starting to notice that the nasal congestion is creeping up again. I wish there was an alternative that was as cheap as Loratidine. Generally it is still somewhat effective though

My 7yr-old daughter was prescribed these tablets. She has slight inflamation in nose and throat, but severe in the ears. It helps that condition,but now she seems agitated, depressed and prone to lashing out. She also has a sore under her nose now. When she doesn't take it, the ears itch more (we have to use drops too for excessive ear wax and excema). I want my daughter back! I hate the mean little monster mood when she's been on the meds for more than two days at a time. I want to clear the ear problem too. Just when I think it's starting to work, the behavior problem starts...along with a rapid heartbeat. GEEZ. Actually I'm quite frightened. Follow up appointment is next week, but he might put us in tomorrow.Read More Read Less

The medication was chosen because it is a 24 hour med. This is supposed to help with allergies and rhionitis. Overall, the med works for my outdoor allergies. Indoor is another story. When there are cats present hardly anything works. This medication has given me the side effect of dry eys and eye discomfort. I've notcied that several hours after taking this, I cannot stop blinking because it dries me out.

My son had horrible allergies that were draining down his throat, he had been on this medication for a month trying to get the allergies to go away. It didn't work at all!! We kept going to the doctor because I kept thinking he had something worse. It did turn into a massive sinus infection. Luckily she switched us to a different allergy med.

Does not stop severe allergies!
