A member asked:
I gave my three year old children claritin (loratadine) about 6 hrs ago and my wife gave he some a few min ago is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How much?: Probably will be fine, maybe a little drowsy. Generally 5 mg would be a good daily dose. If he has taken 10 mg or so probably not going to be of significant concern.
