A member asked:

3 year old daughter (31 lbs) took 2 loratadine 5mg chewable tablets at one time. is this harmful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The safety profile for this drug makes this incident of little consequence. Studies show taking twice the recommended dose (here) does not increase any side effects, or work any better. Take the incident as a learning opportunity to examine your dosing practices/drug safety management.
