Dr. Dareen Siri FAAAAI FACAAI FISAAI answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Des/loratadine: Desloratadine is the primary metabolite of loratadine. At usual doses, both are considered non-sedating specific h1 antagonists. Clinically speaking both are useful drugs for typical allergies. They are indicated for chronic hives as well. Both are safe for long term use ; have negligible side effects.
