Pharmacological properties
Loratadine is a tricyclic antihistamine with selective activity against peripheral H1-receptors.
When used in the recommended dose has no clinically significant sedative and anticholinergic effects. During long-term treatment, no clinically significant changes in vital signs, laboratory tests, physical examination data, or electrocardiograms were detected. Loratadine has no significant effect on the activity of H2-histamine receptors. It does not block the uptake of norepinephrine and does not actually affect the cardiovascular system or the activity of the pacemaker.
After a single dose of the drug (10 mg) on the basis of skin tests for histamine, it was found that the antihistaminic effect is clinically noticeable after 1-3 hours, reaches a peak in the range from 8 to 12 hours after onset of action and lasts 24 hours. There was no development of resistance when taking the drug for 28 days.
