Interaction of Loratin 10 mg
There are no reports of potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs. In contrast to many other histamine H1 receptor antagonists, Loratin 10 mg has no potentiating effects when administered concurrently with alcohol, as measured by psychomotor performance studies. Concomitant therapy with drugs that inhibit or are metabolized by hepatic cytochromes P450 3A4 and 2D6 may elevate plasma concentrations of either drug and this mayifesult in adverse effects. Cimetidine inhibits both enzymes while erythromycin or ketoconazole inhibits P450 3A4. These drugs increase Loratin 10 mg serum concentrations but no adverse effects are reported.
Contraindications
Loratin 10 mg is contraindicated in patients who have shown hypersensitivity or idiosyncrasy to their components.
Side Effects of Loratin 10 mg

Studies on the effect of Loratin 10 mg on actual driving performance, and on tests of cognitive and psychomotor functioning have shown it to be comparable to placebo.
Pregnancy and Lactation

Loratin 10 mg have been shown to be excreted in human milk. So, caution should be exercised when Loratin 10 mg is administered to a nursing woman.

Precautions and Warnings
