A member asked:
I took 10 mg of generic loratadine about 12 hrs ago. today i have been sneezing and had a runny nose all day (despite it being the middle of winter and not allergy season) so i took another 10 mg about a half hour ago. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly. The initial studies on this drug showed a good safety profile. It even tested 20 mg as the dose. It found 2 basic things. Twice as much did not increase side effects. Twice as much did not improve the anti=allergy effect. I wouldn't make it a habit as it wastes the drug.
