Dosing: Adult
Allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis

Allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis: Oral: 10 mg once daily or 5 mg twice daily.

OTC labeling (patient-guided therapy for symptoms of hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies): Oral: 10 mg once daily or 5 mg twice daily; maximum dose: 10 mg/day.

Urticaria, new onset and chronic spontaneous

Urticaria, new onset and chronic spontaneous:

New onset: Oral: Initial: 10 mg once daily. If symptom control is inadequate, may immediately increase to 10 mg twice daily (Ref).

Chronic spontaneous: Oral: Initial: 10 mg once daily. If symptom control is inadequate after 1 to 4 weeks, may increase to 10 mg twice daily. Although current guidelines state that antihistamine doses may be increased up to 4 times the standard dose (eg, to 20 mg twice daily), there is limited evidence for greater efficacy with this dose of loratadine, and other antihistamines are preferred. Periodically reevaluate necessity for continued treatment (Ref).

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

The renal dosing recommendations are based upon the best available evidence and clinical expertise. Senior Editorial Team: Bruce Mueller, PharmD, FCCP, FASN, FNKF; Jason Roberts, PhD, BPharm (Hons), B App Sc, FSHP, FISAC; Michael Heung, MD, MS.

Note: Renally adjusted dose recommendations are based on a usual dose of 10 mg/day.

Altered kidney function:

Oral:

CrCl ≥30 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).

CrCl <30 mL/minute: 10 mg every 48 hours (Ref).

Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): Not dialyzable (Ref): Oral: 10 mg every 48 hours (Ref).

Peritoneal dialysis: Unlikely to be significantly dialyzable (large Vd, highly protein bound): Oral: 10 mg every 48 hours (Ref).

CRRT:

Note: Drug clearance is dependent on the effluent flow rate, filter type, and method of renal replacement. Recommendations are based on high-flux dialyzers and effluent flow rates of 20 to 25 mL/kg/hour (or ~1,500 to 3,000 mL/hour) unless otherwise noted.

Oral: 10 mg every 48 hours (Ref).

PIRRT (eg, sustained, low-efficiency diafiltration):

Note: Drug clearance is dependent on the effluent flow rate, filter type, and method of renal replacement.

Oral: 10 mg every 48 hours (Ref).

Dosing: Liver Impairment: Adult

No dosage adjustment provided in manufacturer’s labeling; however, hepatic impairment increases systemic exposure to loratadine.

Warnings/Precautions

Disease-related concerns:

• Hepatic impairment: Hepatic impairment increases systemic exposure. Use with caution.

• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment.

Concurrent drug therapy issues:

• Sedatives: Effects may be potentiated when used with other sedative drugs or ethanol.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Benzyl alcohol and derivatives: Some dosage forms may contain sodium benzoate/benzoic acid; benzoic acid (benzoate) is a metabolite of benzyl alcohol; large amounts of benzyl alcohol (≥99 mg/kg/day) have been associated with a potentially fatal toxicity (“gasping syndrome”) in neonates; the “gasping syndrome” consists of metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, gasping respirations, CNS dysfunction (including convulsions, intracranial hemorrhage), hypotension, and cardiovascular collapse (AAP ["Inactive" 1997]; CDC, 1982); some data suggests that benzoate displaces bilirubin from protein binding sites (Ahlfors, 2001); avoid or use dosage forms containing benzyl alcohol derivative with caution in neonates. See manufacturer’s labeling.

• Phenylalanine: Some products may contain phenylalanine.

Warnings: Additional Pediatric Considerations

Safety and efficacy for the use of cough and cold products in pediatric patients <4 years of age is limited; the AAP warns against the use of these products for respiratory illnesses in young children. Serious adverse effects including death have been reported. Many of these products contain multiple active ingredients, increasing the risk of accidental overdose when used with other products. The FDA does not recommend OTC uses for these products in pediatric patients <2 years of age and recommends to use with caution in pediatric patients ≥2 years of age. Health care providers are reminded to ask caregivers about the use of OTC cough and cold products in order to avoid exposure to multiple medications containing the same ingredient (AAP 2018; CDC 2007; FDA 2017; FDA 2018).

Drug Interactions

Note: Interacting drugs may not be individually listed below if they are part of a group interaction (eg, individual drugs within “CYP3A4 Inducers [Strong]” are NOT listed). For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the drug interactions program by clicking on the “Launch drug interactions program” link above.

Amezinium: Antihistamines may increase stimulatory effects of Amezinium. Risk C: Monitor

Amiodarone: May increase serum concentration of Loratadine. Management: Due to reported QT interval prolongation and Torsades de Pointes with this combination, consider an alternative to loratadine when possible. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, monitor QT interval and for signs of dyshythmias (eg, syncope). Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification

Benzylpenicilloyl Polylysine: Coadministration of Antihistamines and Benzylpenicilloyl Polylysine may alter diagnostic results. Management: Suspend systemic H1 antagonists for benzylpenicilloyl-polylysine skin testing and delay testing until systemic antihistaminic effects have dissipated. A histamine skin test may be used to assess persistent antihistaminic effects. Risk D: Consider Therapy Modification

Betahistine: Antihistamines may decrease therapeutic effects of Betahistine. Betahistine may decrease therapeutic effects of Antihistamines. Risk C: Monitor

Certoparin: Antihistamines may increase therapeutic effects of Certoparin. Risk C: Monitor

Haloperidol: QT-prolonging Agents (Indeterminate Risk - Caution) may increase QTc-prolonging effects of Haloperidol. Risk C: Monitor

Hyaluronidase: Antihistamines may decrease therapeutic effects of Hyaluronidase. Risk C: Monitor

Ketoconazole (Systemic): May increase serum concentration of Loratadine. Risk C: Monitor

Pitolisant: Antihistamines may decrease therapeutic effects of Pitolisant. Risk X: Avoid

QT-prolonging Agents (Highest Risk): QT-prolonging Agents (Indeterminate Risk - Caution) may increase QTc-prolonging effects of QT-prolonging Agents (Highest Risk). Management: Monitor for QTc interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias when these agents are combined. Patients with additional risk factors for QTc prolongation may be at even higher risk. Risk C: Monitor

Food Interactions

Food increases bioavailability and delays peak. Management: Administer without regard to meals.

Pregnancy Considerations

Outcome data following maternal use of loratadine during pregnancy are available (Etwel 2017, Gilboa 2014, Hansen 2020, Kocatürk 2022, Schwarz 2008). Based on the limitations of available data, second-generation antihistamines are considered acceptable for use during pregnancy, with preference given to agents with more study (EAACI [Zuberbier 2022]).

Algorithms are available for the treatment of acute rhinitis and urticaria. When treatment with a second-generation oral antihistamine is recommended, loratadine is one of the preferred agents for use during pregnancy. When treating urticaria, doses greater than the standard dose have not been adequately studied in pregnant patients (AAAAI/ACAAI [Dykewicz 2020], EAACI [Zuberbier 2022]).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Loratadine and its active metabolite, desloratadine, are present in breast milk.

Data related to the presence of loratadine in breast milk are available following administration of a single oral dose of loratadine 40 mg to six breastfeeding women between 1 and 12 months' postpartum. Breast milk was sampled prior to and at intervals for 48 hours after the dose. Maximum breast milk concentrations of loratadine (20.4 to 39 ng/mL) and desloratadine (9 ng/mL to 29.6 ng/mL) occurred at 2 and ~5 hours after the dose, respectively. Authors of the study calculated the estimated daily exposure to the infant via breast milk (loratadine + desloratadine) to be 29.1 mcg/day in a theoretical 4 kg infant, providing a relative infant dose (RID) of 1.1%, compared to the weight adjusted maternal dose. The half-life of loratadine in breast milk was reported to be 10.7 hours in one woman (Hilbert 1988). In general, breastfeeding is considered acceptable when the RID is <10% (Anderson 2016, Ito 2000).

Drowsiness and irritability have been reported in breastfed infants exposed to antihistamines (Ito 1993). In general, second-generation antihistamines (eg, loratadine) are less sedating as compared to their first-generation counterparts. Infants exposed to a second-generation antihistamine via breast milk should be monitored for irritability, jitteriness, or drowsiness (Butler 2014).

Antihistamines may decrease maternal serum prolactin concentrations when administered prior to the establishment of lactation (Messinis 1985).

Use of a second-generation antihistamine is preferred when an oral antihistamine is needed in lactating patients (Butler 2014, EAACI [Zuberbier 2022]).

Dietary Considerations

May be taken without regard to meals. Some products may contain phenylalanine and/or sodium.

Mechanism of Action

Long-acting tricyclic antihistamine with selective peripheral histamine H1-receptor antagonistic properties

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Note: The pharmacokinetic profile of children 2 to 12 years is similar to that of adults (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Onset of action: 1-3 hours (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Peak effect: 8-12 hours (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Duration: >24 hours (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Absorption: Rapid; food increases total bioavailability (AUC) by 40% to 48% (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Distribution: Vd: 119 L/kg (Haria 1994); binds preferentially to peripheral nervous system H1 receptors; no appreciable entry into CNS (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Protein binding: 97% to 99% (loratadine), 73% to 76% (metabolite) (Haria 1994)

Metabolism: Extensively hepatic via CYP2D6 and 3A4 to active metabolite (descarboethoxyloratadine) (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Half-life elimination: 8.4 hours (range: 3 to 20 hours) (loratadine), 28 hours (range: 8.8 to 92 hours) (metabolite) (Claritin prescribing information 2000); hepatic impairment: 24 hours (loratadine), 37 hours (metabolite) (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Time to peak, serum: Loratadine: 1.3 hours (loratadine), 2.3 hours (metabolite) (Claritin prescribing information 2000)

Excretion: Urine (40%) and feces (40%) as metabolites

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Altered kidney function: With CrCl <30 mL/minute, AUC and Cmax are increased approximately 73% for loratadine and 120% for its metabolite.

Hepatic function impairment: AUC and Cmax doubled for loratadine

Older adult: AUC and Cmax are increased approximately 50%, and t½ ranged from 6.7 to 37 hours
