Household spoons are not accurate. You may take this medicine with food or on an empty stomach. Take your medicine at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.

Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. While this medicine may be used in children as young as 2 years for selected conditions, precautions do apply.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of Loratadine contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: Loratadine is only for you. Do not share Loratadine with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
