How this medicine works

The U.S. DailyMed label classifies loratadine as an antihistamine. This helps readers locate the label's use and warning sections, but a label class is not a conclusion about individual suitability, amount, combination with another allergy medicine or switching.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

Claritin is the brand name in this record; loratadine is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral tablet).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

1 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

CLARITIN label reading: 10 mg first identifies this tablet presentation

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

This module uses the U.S. DailyMed public label to check CLARITIN, loratadine, 10 mg per tablet, oral-tablet form and target market. It does not turn package wording into an individual's tablet count, course, switch or combination plan.

  • Check CLARITIN, loratadine, 10 mg per tablet, oral-tablet form and target market together. 10 mg is the stated strength for this archived tablet, not a web answer to how many tablets anyone should take.
  • CLARITIN can also appear as chewable tablets or oral solution. A shared loratadine ingredient or “allergy” wording does not make tablets, chewables and liquids self-convertible, substitutable or combinable by tablet count, millilitres or experience.
  • The label directs readers with liver or kidney disease to ask a professional first. With other cold, sleep, skin-allergy or herbal products at home, take the complete medicine list and actual packs to a pharmacist to review duplicate ingredients and interactions rather than judging from brand names alone.
  • A package photo, name or OTC marking cannot authenticate a product, prove interchangeability or replace the current label in the target market. With an allergic reaction or uncertainty about use, use local medical channels rather than self-adjusting from a webpage.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

This card brings together the medicine-specific product route and 15 market-level official vigilance gateways. It does not mean real-time alerts for this medicine have been searched in every country or region, or that the medicine has a new alert, recall or risk conclusion. Match brand, generic name, dosage form, strength, market and notice date item by item; do not self-stop, switch, increase or reduce use from a headline.

For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, loss of consciousness or another emergency, use local emergency services. Do not wait for an online alert search or change a medicine from this page.

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about Claritin (loratadine). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    Claritin is the brand in this record and loratadine is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Dosage form and presentation as documented in the linked primary label) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

How loratadine is classified on the label: read “antihistamine” without deriving a personal plan

  • “Antihistamine” is a label-class clue. It does not automatically attribute every rash, congestion or eye symptom to the same cause, and it cannot replace diagnosis.
  • A shared antihistamine class does not make loratadine self-combinable, alternatable or substitutable with cetirizine, a combination cold medicine or another allergy product. Review complete ingredients, form, market label and all medicines.
  • Drug class and the 10 mg wording on a pack are different layers of information. Class does not make forms or strengths convertible by experience. Any change must return to the current label for the exact product and a professional.

No local approval, holder, strength, supply or sale-eligibility conclusion is inferred from the U.S. OTC label.

How to read this record

Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.

Keep international and mainland China records separate

This page has a U.S. public history/regulatory archive but no mainland China record for this specific product. That does not establish whether the medicine exists, is approved or is available in mainland China. Verify product identity, dosage form, strength, holder and the current label item by item.

RECORD FAQ

Record questions

Does a U.S. OTC label represent another market or personal use?

No. It is only a reading entry point for this specific U.S. public label; the current target-market document and individual circumstances need separate professional review.

Why does the OTC archive not state original approval or originator conclusions?

A label record is insufficient to prove those conclusions. They require traceable product, dosage-form, market, date and primary regulatory records with human review.
