What is Loratadine Pseudoephedrine

Loratadine and pseudoephedrine are used in combination for temporary relief of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes and itchy throat throat due to the common cold, hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies.

Loratadine is a non-sedating antihistamine (H1-blocker) that does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier.

Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic amine which is effective in relieving the symptoms of nasal and sinus congestion.

Loratadine pseudoephedrine products were first approved by the FDA in November 1994 and available by prescription; the FDA approved the non-prescription (OTC) use in November 2002.
