A member asked:

What is the best time of the day to give childrens claritin (loratadine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pair it up: The best time to give a once daily med is when you pair it with another activity you already do daily.The effectiveness is not altered by when during the day it is given, you just need to remember to give it.
