Are there major differences between loratadine and cetirizine?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not really: Both are antihistamines that work well. There may some subtle differences between the two but in general either one is a good choice.

Yes: Ceterizine is "partially sedating" wheras Loratadine is non-sedating.
