What is Claritin (Loratadine) Used For?

Claritin (Loratadine) is a potent antihistamine primarily used to treat allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever. It is used to relieve seasonal and year-round symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy palate, red, itchy, or watery eyes. It may also be used in adults and children 2 years of age or older to treat chronic idiopathic urticaria, a condition with long-term hives and itchiness of the skin without a known cause. Off-label, healthcare providers may also suggest it for managing itching associated with minor bug bites or non-severe environmental contact allergies.

Being an antihistamine, loratadine works by blocking your body's histamine receptors. When you encounter an allergen, your immune system releases histamine, which attaches to these receptors on tissues in your nose, eyes, and skin. That binding process triggers blood vessels to leak fluid and stimulates nerves, leading to swelling, itching, sneezing, and a runny nose.

Loratadine binds to those same receptors first, physically blocking histamine from latching on and stopping the allergic response before it starts. As loratadine cannot easily cross the blood-brain barrier, it relieves these peripheral symptoms with minimal to no drowsiness for most people. Your liver also processes loratadine into an active metabolite (desloratadine) that keeps blocking these receptors, giving you 24 hours of symptom relief from a single dose.

Always take Claritin as directed on the product package or as recommended by your healthcare provider. For complete safety information, check out the Product monograph.
