Claritin

Loratadine brand name

Claritin is a brand name for loratadine, an antihistamine medication used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

Unlike older antihistamines, it is designed not to cause drowsiness, making it popular for daytime use.

Available over the counter, Claritin has become nearly synonymous with non-drowsy allergy relief.

I take Claritin every spring when pollen counts spike.
