Can claritin (loratadine) d make my nose run?

Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Not usually: Both the Claritin (loratadine) (antihistamine) and d (decongestant) are more likely to dry up the nose than make it run. Consider seeing an allergist for a diagnosis and the best treatment (including medication) for your symptoms.
