The tablets I take on a daily basis have helped me control my allergies and, in turn, helped control my asthma.

My son had horrible allergies that were draining down his throat, he had been on this medication for a month trying to get the allergies to go away. It didn't work at all!! We kept going to the doctor because I kept thinking he had something worse. It did turn into a massive sinus infection. Luckily she switched us to a different allergy med.

Comment:
Grand daughter and myself always having sore throat. Both tested negative for Strep. Doctor advises it is allergy related and prescribed Claritin, but told to get Loratadine. Worked great to clear up sore throat. So when we have a sore throat we take Loratadine and if it goes away, we know it is just allergies and not Strep. Do not take every day, we only take when we need it.
