📋Overview
Desloratadine is an antihistamine medication commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. Desloratadine is often associated with the management of conditions like allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria. It is known for causing less drowsiness compared to some older antihistamines.
