An allergy medicine that makes me drowsy?
Not when the world's greatest goalie is on the field.
Loratadine is a drug used to treat allergies, and marketed for its non-sedating properties. It is marketed by Schering-Plough under several trade names such as Claritin, Claritin-D, Claritine, Clarityn, Clarityne or Fristamin depending on the market; by Cadila as Lorfast; by Lek as Lomilan; by Sandoz as Symphoral; by Ranbaxy as Roletra; by Pliva as Rinolan; by Teva as AllergyX; and by Wyeth as Alavert. It is also available as a generic. In a version marketed as Claritin-D or Clarinase, loratadine is combined with pseudoephedrine, a decongestant; this makes it somewhat useful for colds as well as allergies, but adds potential side-effects of insomnia, nervousness and anxiety.
