Loratidine: Can be taken again after 24h. See information sheet below. https://www.drugs.com/dosage/loratadine.html However if it isn't working it may be that you need a consult with a doctor licensed in your area to make sure that the medication is the right thing for your condition.

Agree w Dr.Ram: It is important to take as directed. Claritin usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to take full effect.
