Drug Uses
Claritin is an antihistamine that relieves the sneezing, runny nose, stuffiness, itching, and tearing eyes, caused by hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies. It also relieves the swollen, red, itchy patches of skin caused by hives.
How to use
Adults and children 6 years of age and over: The recommended dose of Claritin is one 10 mg tablet or reditab, or 2 teaspoonfuls (10 mg) of syrup once daily. Children 2 to 5 years of age: The recommended dose of Claritin Syrup is 5 mg (1 teaspoonful) once daily. In adults and children 6 years of age and over with liver failure or renal insufficiency (GFR < 30 mL/min), the starting dose should be 10 mg (one tablet or two teaspoonfuls) every other day. In children 2 to 5 years of age with liver failure or renal insufficiency, the starting dose should be 5 mg (one teaspoonful) every other day.
Drug Class and Mechanism
