Claritin-D

Also Known As: Claritin-D, Pseudoephedrine/loratadine, Clarinase

Pseudoephedrine/loratadine (trade names Claritin-D, Clarinase, Clarinase Repetabs) is an orally administered drug combination used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and the common cold.

Loratadine (INN) is a second-generation H1 histamine antagonist drug used to treat allergies. Structurally, it is closely related to tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine, and is distantly related to the atypical antipsychotic quetiapine.[1]

Loratadine is marketed by Schering-Plough under several trade names (e.g., Claritin) and also by Shionogi in Japan. It is available as a generic drug and is marketed for its non-sedating properties. In a version named Claritin-D or Clarinase, it is combined with pseudoephedrine, a decongestant; this makes it useful for colds as well as allergies but adds potential side-effects of insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness.
