Loratadine allergy: I take loratadine for my cat allergy. In the past week, I start to cough a lot w/in 10 min of taking it. Could I be developing an allergy to it? ANS: yes but only way to find out is to stop. Go to drugs.com and review side effects. Tell your Dr. and ask for another Rx but if truly allergic to cat may be difficult to find med that helps.
