Loratadine is an antihistamine which helps to reduce allergic symptoms by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine, which is produced in the body. It helps relieve the symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, for example, hay fever, such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose and burning or itchy eyes. It can also be used to treat skin allergies including hives.
