The antihistamine drug Desloratadine, produced by Israeli and Russian companies, is popular among doctors and patients due to its prolonged action, the absence of side effects and high efficiency. It has many analogues and is used to treat patients with various diseases, both in the role of the main and auxiliary drugs.
Desloratadine - 3rd generation antihistamine medication.
Desloratadine is a H1-receptor blocker. It is the primary active metabolite of loratadine, but, by contrast, has a longer duration of action. It stops the release of histamine and leukotriene C4 from mast cells, thanks to which it prevents the occurrence of an allergic reaction.
    Desloratadine surpasses loratadine 3 times in activity.

Reviews about Desloratadine

For a long time I suffer from skin allergies. Exacerbations occur mainly in the off-season (fall and spring). Unpleasant itchy, indistinct pinkish spots appear on the skin. Not very aesthetically pleasing and ugly. Itching is, in general, a separate story. At first she was treated (naturally, on the recommendation of a doctor) with weak drugs — calcium gluconate, loratadine. There was practically no result from such treatment. The stains stubbornly did not disappear, only faded a little. At the next stage, the doctor prescribed me the aforementioned desloratadine. Naturally, these pills were stronger than the usual loratadine: by the evening the suntan had disappeared without a trace. But ... the next morning, they were again on my arms and neck. In short, this allergy symptoms were removed only for a short time. Bottom line - I was prescribed strong hormonal remedies for allergies. So this medicine is the most common remedy for allergy symptoms, and it is not particularly effective. It's my opinion. And the price, by the way, is not small.

I have a hives, chronic form. Often the body is covered with a rash, and it generally does not depend on anything. Sometimes I can just drink water and get stained. Therefore, periodically I spend on drink some antihistamine drug. I often change them because there is a tendency to get used to it. It was the last time I bought Desloratadine. I started taking it with caution, because I used to use the usual Loratadine. Desloratadine, a metabolite of Loratadine, is three times stronger than the latter. Although the doctor said that taking the pill does not depend on food, practice has shown that it is better to take it on an empty stomach. And after the reception there is nothing for at least an hour. Then the action is much stronger.
