Clarityne Plus 10 mg/240 mg 7 Tablets

It is a medicine that contains a combination of active ingredients to combat allergy symptoms: loratadine (antihistamine) and pseudoephedrine sulphate (nasal decongestant).

Its use helps to reduce the symptoms of allergy or the common cold by slowing down the effects of a substance called "histamine", which the body produces when it is allergic to something. It is also indicated to treat symptoms of nasal congestion and other symptoms associated with seasonal allergy (hay fever) such as sneezing, eye irritation, runny, itchy nose and eyes, caused by plant pollen in adults or adolescents from 12 years of age.
