Drug Interactions

**Loratadine:**
Taking ritonavir or amprenavir can increase loratadine levels in the body. Loratadine levels may also go up if you take erythromycin, cimetidine, or ketoconazole, but this usually does not cause any serious problems or side effects. Loratadine may reduce the effects of betahistine.

**Pseudoephedrine:**
Using pseudoephedrine with atomoxetine can cause more side effects, such as sleepiness or feeling agitated. Taking it with sibutramine may raise your blood pressure or heart rate.

**Serious Warnings (Potentially Fatal):**
- Using pseudoephedrine with bromocriptine can increase the risk of psychosis (mental disturbances).
- Never take pseudoephedrine together with MAOIs (a type of antidepressant), or within two weeks after stopping an MAOI, as it can cause a dangerous and possibly fatal increase in blood pressure.
- Pseudoephedrine can also raise blood pressure if combined with linezolid or selegiline.

Contraindications

Breastfeeding, narrow-angle glaucoma, trouble urinating, severe high blood pressure, serious heart disease, and overactive thyroid are all conditions to be careful about. This medicine should not be used by people taking MAOIs or for 14 days after stopping an MAOI.

Mode of actions

Loratadine is an antihistamine that works for a long time without making you sleepy and causes very few side effects like dry mouth. Pseudoephedrine helps clear a stuffy nose by narrowing blood vessels in the nose, which reduces swelling in the upper airways.

Dosage & Administration

Adults and Children 12 years of age and over: PO: loratadine 5 mg and pseudoephedrine sulfate 120 mg: 1 tab twice daily.
Loratadine 10 mg and pseudoephedrine sulfate 240 mg: 1 tab once daily.
(Safety and effectiveness of this drug in children below the age of 12 years have not been established).

Pregnancy & Lactation

Although animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect even sometimes unable to demonstrate the risk on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, but during pregnancy, this medicine can be used just when definitely required.
