Loratadine is an antihistamine that relieves seasonal allergy symptoms like watery and itchy eyes, a runny nose, and sneezing. Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that relieves stuffiness, encourages sinus drainage, and improves breathing. Because of the high amount of pseudoephedrine in this medication, it is not recommended for children under the age of 12. Take this medication by mouth once a day, or as directed by your doctor. With a full glass of water, consume. Take the tablets whole. The tablets should not be crushed or chewed. This can result in the drug being released all at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

Do not increase your dose or take it more frequently than prescribed.
