A member asked:

Can you tell me if "equate childrens loratadine syrup" works on 14 year olds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should work,: but the dose for a 14 year old would likely be higher than that listed on the bottle. Your pharmacist can help you compare pediatric to adult formulations.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
