Question 1

at what weight can a kid take the 10mg dose of loratadine? bottle says "age 6" but my kids small. what weight?

Accepted Answer

Well tolerated: I wouldn't worry much about the dose level.This medication has one of the safest profiles of any of the over the counter medications. The suggested dose for 2-5 is 5mg and a dissolving tablet is available in some local.Adult studies found no increased benefit or side effects with a double dose of 20 mg. So having a smallish 6 yo take the 10 would be fine.

Question 2

can you take loratadine 20mg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why ?: Studies of loritadine show the medication is well tolerated at twice the recommended 10 mg dose. However, the same studies show no added benefit of the double dose in symptom relief over the regular dose schedule.

Question 3

can i take two loratadine tablets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why ?: Studies of loritadine show the medication is well tolerated at twice the recommended 10 mg dose. However, the same studies show no added benefit of the double dose in symptom relief over the regular dose schedule. If one is not working well, you may want to try   otc fexofenadine or a steroid nasal spray.
