Tok a over-the-counter claritin (loratadine) 24 hour.doesn't say reditab or clariton d just 24 hour relief.i think i crushed it a little trying to swallow it.ok?

Yes: Claritin (loratadine) is inherently long-acting , it is the Claritin (loratadine) D which should not be crushed since this would eliminate the long acting aspect of the decongestant (D) and may produce too much stimulation from being crushed.
