How Claritin D Tablet Works

Claritin D Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine, which relieves sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies. Loratadine is an antiallergic which blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing temporary relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
