Depends on cause: There are both allergic and non-allergic causes of allergic rhinitis, which causes symptoms such as runny nose. If your runny nose is the result of allergies then it should be helpful. However, if your runny nose is the result of an non allergy source than Claritin (loratadine) will not be helpful.
