Mechanism of Action
Desloratadine is a potent, long-acting, non-sedating, selective peripheral histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It inhibits histamine release from mast cells and basophils, and also inhibits adhesion molecule expression and inflammatory cytokine release, thereby blocking the allergic cascade.
Pharmacokinetics

Within 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Excretion
Excreted equally in urine and feces, primarily as metabolites.
Half life
Approximately 27 hours.
Absorption
Rapidly absorbed after oral administration; peak plasma concentrations achieved in approximately 3 hours.
Metabolism
Extensively metabolized to 3-hydroxydesloratadine, an active metabolite.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to Desloratadine, Loratadine, or any component of the formulation.
- Severe kidney or liver disease without dose adjustment.
Drug Interactions
Alcohol
Desloratadine does not potentiate the effects of alcohol.
Ketoconazole, Erythromycin, Azithromycin, Cimetidine, Fluoxetine
These drugs may increase plasma concentrations of Desloratadine. While clinical significance is generally minimal, caution is advised.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include somnolence, increased heart rate, and headache. In case of overdose, initiate symptomatic and supportive treatment. Desloratadine is not eliminated by hemodialysis.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy Category C. Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Desloratadine passes into breast milk, so caution should be exercised when administered to a nursing woman.
