User Reviews for loratadine oral

Does not stop severe allergies!

Grand daughter and myself always having sore throat. Both tested negative for Strep. Doctor advises it is allergy related and prescribed Claritin, but told to get Loratadine. Worked great to clear up sore throat. So when we have a sore throat we take Loratadine and if it goes away, we know it is just allergies and not Strep. Do not take every day, we only take when we need it.

It's effective. Symptoms disappeared after 2 days.

I've been taking this drug now that I found out I am allergic to dogs as well as cats. It is drying to the nose, other systemic slowdown (constipation), but I am not thinking as clearly, and at 63 yrs. this is not good. Try going off this drug and see if you begin to think better.

I used this drug to combat seasonal allergies. However, the results were marginal and I found the longer I took the drug (Claritin) the worse the side effects became. In fact, I woke up two nights in a row (following a morning dosage) with a rapid heart beat, extremely impaired vision and disturbed motor sensory. My vision was so bad I thought I was hallucinating. Scary stuff!! Almost immediately after discontinuing the drug I felt just fine. I'll deal with the allergies thank you very much!

sucks

wonderful

We gave our two yr old son the childrens version of this drug. Oh my what a mistake. The change in behavior was drastic. Very irritable, lashing out, just not his usual behavior at all. We stopped giveing it to him even though it worked well and no behavior problems. I guess we'll just deal with the allergies.

Either I had poison ivy or poison oak, in my EYES. This helped the itching and eventually it went away. Also was taking Hydroxyzine so don't know which helped the most.

I take Loratadine Oral 10 mg for seasonal allergies, because my snoring was waking me. I've found that the manufacturer matters. I don't have adverse side effects using Claritin 24 hr. I've found that some generics work well without adverse side effects. Other generics have caused me to be drowsy and extremely irritable.

without 24 hour Non-drowsy Loratadine 10mg I am sick to my stomack, sinus ache, sneezing, watering eyes misery. I check pollen forecast and take on day before red days and on all red days. I still have to hire out to have my yard mowed, & I don't have furry pets anymore. I am satisfied.

The only side effect has been feeling sleepy after taking the medication. I can sleep for an hour or two, then am okay.

My 7 yr old was prescribed this med on 4/29/10 and for the past 3-4 days she just starts crying and becomes very sad for no reason. She has her bad days but this is not her typical behavior. I supended treatment immediatley and will follow up with her doc...

I have had excellent success with this drug to relieve allergy symptoms. At times I feel sleepy, but mostly not. Here is what concerns me. I seem to be wanting to eat all the time. I had taken an allergy medication years ago that made me gain 40 lbs. in ONE YEAR. I never knew it was the medication until I went back to see my allergist a year after starting the drug. I quit it immediately and saw relief from the craving to eat. A doctor told me later that the thing that makes the allergy pill effective also STIMULATES THE APPETITE. I said I would not take that one. He said, Actually, they ALL work like that. I'm wondering if the mother of the toddler who became cranky on the medication wasn't expressing that craving, since he probably wasn't able to say it. I'm not kidding, I wanted to slap myself, I was so out of control. Now I have to see if a half pill will still help, but not stimulate my appetite. If that doesn't work, I'd rather suffer with the allergies, but oh, man I hate to go back to feeling bad all the time.Read More Read Less
