Answer 1
Claritin (loratadine) is an over-the-counter (OTC) medication used to treat allergy symptoms. It is a second-generation antihistamine with selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonistic activity.
Claritin works by blocking the action of histamine, a naturally occurring biogenic amine that initiates allergic symptoms like itching, sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, and allergic skin rashes.
