No worries: I'm more worried that you would ask such a question here; questions like this need to be phoned immediately to a local poison control center or emergency department. However, Claritin (loratadine) has been shown to be safe in much higher than the recommended dosage in clinical trials, so this shouldn't be a problem. But you already know this, because enough time has passed since you asked it!

Unlikely to harm!: May be slightly sedative because of size, but very likely not to harm!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!: Take this as a warning that a curious little kid or toddler can and will be able to get into almost any packaging. And please take the threat seriously. Contact a local hospital or board of health and go online for more information about tox lines, prevention, first aid. This is not a one-time occurrence but a wake up call to parents!
