A member asked:

Does desloratadine have a mast-cell stabilising effect which can cure an allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Desloratadine: Is an antihistamine that blocks a histamine receptor but does not stabilize the mast cells, there is no medication that can cure allergies, your best potential for cure will be from allergen immunotherapy. If you have an allergist around, ask them aout it.
