Long-Acting, Non-Sedating Antihistamine/Decongestant.
Pharmacology: Loratadine is a potent long-acting tricyclic antihistamine with selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonistic activity.
Pseudoephedrine sulfate, one of the naturally occurring alkaloids of the Ephedra and an orally administered vasoconstrictor, produces a gradual but sustained decongestant effect facilitating shrinkage of congested mucosa in upper respiratory areas.
The mucous membrane of the respiratory tract is decongested through the action of the sympathetic nerves.
