Clear-Atadine Side Effects, Overdose and Pregnancy Information
Main ingredient in Clear-Atadine is Loratadine.
Clear-Atadine is used to relieve the symptoms of
seasonal allergies and hay fever such as itchy, runny nose, sneezing, and
watery eyes as well as symptoms of allergic reactions like hives or
swelling.
Clear-Atadine blocks the release of
chemical histamine in the body during an allergic reaction, resulting in
drying up secretions of the nose, throat and eyes. Clear-Atadine is considered
less sedative than other antihistamine medicines.
