Review of Natalia Kavalerova, 8-year-old Marina’s mother:
    “After consuming home-made milk, my daughter started to have a strong diathesis. Redness, covered with a crust, appeared on the face and under the knees. The temperature has risen. The doctor prescribed loratadine in the form of a syrup. Marina gladly drank the medicine, after 3 days the allergy disappeared altogether. ”
Allergist doctor Dubinsky M.Yu. recommends:
    “Loratadine syrup has many analogues. Some of them can be purchased at an affordable price, others are not affordable for everyone: Lomilan, Alerpriv, Erolin are also effective in allergies of various etiologies. There was almost no negative feedback from patients on Loratadine. I prescribe this medicine more often than other antihistamines. ”
