Description

Fast relief of nasal allergies and other seasonal allergy symptoms including sneezing, runny nose and itchy nose. Claritin is also used for fast relief of burning, itchy and red eyes. Fast relief of skin allergies, such as itchy skin and hives. How Claritin works: Claritin contains a long-acting antihistamine, which blocks the action of histamine and relieves allergy symptoms. Histamine is a chemical released by your immune system — which defends your body against substances — when your body is damaged by substances you are allergic to (allergens). The symptom-relieving effect lasts for 24 hours. Claritin does not cause drowsiness. It allows you to stay alert and focused while relieving allergy symptoms.
