8 hour half life: The half life is 8 hours, so within several days there should be hardly any active metabolites of this medicine in your system. Best wishes.

Side effects: Dry mouth is a not uncommon side effect of taking the antihistamine Loratadine (Cliratin), and may last for as long as you take the medication. Chest pain, however, is uncommon, and should be immediately reported to your prescribing Physician.
