Description

Desloratadine may be taken with or without food. The dose may vary depending on what you are taking it for. Take it as it has been prescribed by your doctor. You may need this medicine only on days you have symptoms, or you may need to take it every day to prevent symptoms from happening.

This is usually mild and go away after a couple of days as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if it persists or worry you. Before taking it, you should tell your doctor if you have any problems with your liver or kidneys or with your heart as antihistamines can cause your heart to beat faster.

It usually does not impair your ability to drive, but you should not drive if it makes you feel sleepy or dizzy. Desloratadine is an antihistaminic medication.
