Relatively speaking, the side effects of loratadine are very small. Loratadine is an antihistamine and antiallergic drug, which is mainly used for allergic diseases, such as allergic conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis, including seasonal allergic rhinitis and perennial allergic rhinitis, and can also be used for treating skin allergic diseases, such as urticaria and skin itching.

It can also be used to treat allergic symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose in children after catching a cold. Compared with traditional antiallergic drugs (such as chlorpheniramine), loratadine has much less sedative and hypnotic effects. The most common side effect of loratadine tablets is gastrointestinal discomfort, and a few sensitive individuals may have slight drowsiness.
