Why Loratadine for Kid's Allergies?
The main ingredient in Children’s Allergy
Raxast is loratadine. Loratadine is a second generation antihistamine that blocks the histamine chemicals responsible for causing allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, itching, and runny noses. When taken as directed, Children’s Allergy Raxast (loratadine) provides daily non-drowsy relief for both indoor and outdoor allergies.
Doctor Pro Tip
“Always read the product label to make sure a medication is right for your child’s age. Some OTC allergy medicines are approved for children as young as 6 months — but not all. Just because a product’s box says it’s intended for children, doesn’t mean it is intended for children of all ages.”
