CLARINASE, also known as
Claritin D, provides 12 hours relief from allergic rhinitis
(hayfever) symptoms. Each CLARINASE tablet contains 5mg of
non-drowsy anti-histamine (loratadine) and 120mg of a
decongestant (pseudoephedrine sulfate) for the relief of
hayfever, runny nose, nasal and sinus congestion, watery, itchy
eyes and sneezing. Anti-histamines help reduce allergic symptoms
by preventing the effects of a substance called histamine, which
is produced by the body. Decongestants produce narrowing of
blood vessels leading to clearing of the stuffy or blocked nose.
