Summer BanksDesloratadine and working
November 10th 2006 01:39
Treatment :
The regular tablet form may be taken either on an empty stomach or with food or milk (unless your doctor directs you to do otherwise). The rapidly disintegrating tablet should be placed on the tongue; it will quickly dissolve and can be swallowed with or without water. Take desloratadine only as needed to control the symptoms of allergy. Desloratadine will not cure the allergy, but it will help to relieve the symptoms that are associated with the condition.
If you miss a dose of desloratadine, take the missed dose as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the missed dose at all; just return to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the next dose.
Side Effects :
Minor: Dry mouth, hoarseness, muscle aches, painful menses, sore throat, or unusual tiredness. These side effects should disappear as your body adjusts to desloratadine. Dry mouth can be relieved by chewing sugarless gum or sucking on hard candy.
Desloratadine is a long-acting antihistamine. Antihistamines block the action of his-
tamine, a chemical released from the body during an allergic reaction. Desloratadine is used to provide symptomatic relief of seasonal allergic rhinitis, such as hay fever. It will reduce symptoms of an allergic response, including hives, sneezing, runny nose, itching, and tearing.
Interactions :
Desloratadine interacts with several other medications:
Concurrent use of this medication with other central nervous system depressants (such as alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepine tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, narcotics, pain medications, and phenothiazine tranquilizers) or with tricyclic antidepressants can cause extreme drowsiness.
Use of over-the-counter cough, cold, or allergy medications may increase the side effects of desloratadine and should be avoided.
Warnings :
Tell your doctor about unusual or allergic reactions you have had to any medications, especially to desloratadine, loratadine, cyproheptadine, azatadine, or any other antihistamines (such as astemizole, brompheniramine, carbinoxamine, cetirizine, chlorpheniramine, clemastine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, diphenylpyraline, doxylamine, fexofenadine, hydroxyzine, and terfenadine).
Tell your doctor if you now have or have ever had asthma; blood-vessel disease; glaucoma; high blood pressure; kidney, liver, or thyroid disease; peptic ulcers; or an enlarged prostate.
