How Does Claritin Work?

Claritin, containing the active ingredient loratadine is a medication used in relieving symptoms (both nasal and non-nasal) associated with seasonal allergies. Claritin is a tricyclic antihistamine that works by selectively blocking certain types of peripheral histamine receptors in the body with minimal sedation due to its lower penetration of the blood-brain barrier. Claritin functions in a similar manner to cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra) and levocetirizine (Xyzal).

Claritin - Dosage and Coupon

Claritin tablets are a popular choice for many people although Claritin RediTabs and Claritin syrups are also available. While food can delay how quickly the ingredients in Claritin are absorbed by the body, the absorption of Claritin is generally fast, taking under two hours to reach peak concentration in many people. The metabolites of Claritin undergo processing in the liver and are eventually excreted via multiple pathways in the body. Claritin generally has an elimination half-life of eight hours.

Insurance plans will sometimes cover costs associated with Claritin tablets when the medication is prescribed by a medical provider.
