| 1 | Nasal drip | Please don't give this to the elderly! They simply cannot tolerate it most of the time. Causes trance like state of mind, insomnia, night sweats, irrational thinking! Seriously.... find out what the allergy trigger is and try to eliminate what's causing the allergy! Our elderly are over drugged by prescription and over the counter drugs! I'm a caregiver and it breaks my heart to see them "out of their mind" because of these drugs with side effects! All drugs have side effects! Sometimes.... no meds are the best meds! | M | 94 | 3 days 10 1X day | 12/31/2019 | 5 | Hay fever | None | Works well to control sneezing. I have to take eyedrops (Zaditor) to reduce itchy eyes; loratadine has little effect on itchy eyes. Seems to be more effective when taken with food. I take loratadine all year, not just during warm weather. | M | 66 | 5 years 10 mg 1X day | 2/19/2013 | 3 | allergies | none that i can really tie back to the pill | For very simple allergies, like dust allergies, loratadine works well. Every time I clean my home or move a box, anything that will disturb dust, I get a runny nose or start sneezing a bit. I'll pop a loratadine pill and i'm good. But for persistant, on-going allergies, or even throat/nose itchiness, it just doesn't cut it. Was hoping this would replace benedryl since it's non drowsy, but nope! For longer lasting allergies, I'll just stick to cold medication. | F | 27 | 3 days 10mg 1X day | 11/24/2012 | 4 | Allergies | None! | I'm so glad this stuff works for me as I can't afford to re-do allergy shots and without something I am miserable. | F | 34 | 5 years 10mg 1X day | 6/15/2010 |
