Claritin® (loratadine) is a medication approved for treating common allergy symptoms and itching due to hives. It is a type of antihistamine that can help relieve itchy or watery eyes, itchy nose or throat, runny nose, and sneezing by blocking the effects of histamine. Claritin is available over-the-counter and comes in several forms, including tablets, liquid-filled capsules, orally disintegrating tablets, and syrup. While most people tolerate Claritin well, potential side effects include drowsiness, fatigue, dry mouth, and headaches.
