Question 1

how often can i take claritin (loratadine)?

Accepted Answer

Depends, 1 daily: If you are using Claritin for control of allergic nasal and eye symptoms, one tablet a day is all you need. If you are using Claritin for other medical condition such as chronic hives then your allergist may recommend a higher dose such as twice daily or even 3 times daily. If you are using Claritin more than once a day you should be using the medication under direct allergist supervision.

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

what happens if you take 50 mg of loratadine?

Accepted Answer

Side effects: Taking higher than recommended dose increases the risk of side effects including drowsiness.

Question 4

CLARITIN D is a prepackaged form of that combination that is over the counter.
cannot say in your particular case, but generally, it is safe

Question 5

can i take loratadine 10mg if i took nucytna 50mg?

Accepted Answer

Interactions: There are no known interactions between those medicines.  It is always wise to exercise caution when taking multiple medications.

Question 6

what will happen if you take 100 grams of loratadine?

Accepted Answer

: Since you would need to take 10,000 tablets to get that dose I suspect this is just a what if &amp; would evert be possible. There are no bottles that size. There is listed side effects of sleepiness &amp; headaches for OD's in a common range. The poison control number for a toxicologist opinion is 1-800-222-1222.

Question 7

can i take 2 claritin (loratadine)?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If your symptoms are not controlled with a normal dose, you should be evaluated for other causes and treatments. 2nd-generation antihistamines like Claritin (loratadine) are usually very safe, and we sometimes recommend doses higher-than-normal doses for certain conditions. But these conditions are best managed with the help of your doctor--see your doctor before taking more than the recommended dose.

Question 8

is it safe to take 20 mg loratadine?

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 9

i'm 28 weeks is loratadine ok to take?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Claritin (loratadine) and Zyrtec (cetirizine) are pregnancy category B medications which means that animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus, but there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. That said, I frequently use these medications with my pregnant patients. Allegra (fexofenadine) is category C so avoid this medication if possible.

Question 10

can you take loratadine and certrizine?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't: Both medications are in the same class called non-sedating antihistamines and are effective for 24 hours. They should not be taken at the same time, but you can try both separately to see which is more effective for you.
