Product Description

Claratyne Syrup is a fast-acting, non-drowsy treatment used to relieve the symptoms of perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly referred to as hayfever. It provides daily relief from sneezing, running or itchy nose, nasal congestion, throat discomfort, and irritated or watery eyes. Claratyne Syrup also alleviates the symptoms of other allergic skin conditions including urticaria, or "hives", consisting of red, itchy lumps that develop on the skin's surface. The active ingredient in Claratyne Syrup is 1mg/ml of the antihistamine Loratadine.
