1. Uses of Clarityne for health

Medicine divides clarityne medicine into the group of anti-allergic drugs. The properties of this drug are similar to those of antihistamines. When used, the drug will reduce the flexibility of histamine to reduce allergy symptoms that this substance causes to the body.
In addition, you can limit and reduce other allergic symptoms such as allergic rhinitis by using Clarityne. When suffering from allergic rhinitis, the body will appear some symptoms such as itching around the nose, uncontrollable runny nose, watery eyes or accompanied by sneezing.
When using clarityne medicine, unpleasant problems in the nose will be dealt with quickly. Not only for the treatment of nasal allergies, you can also use the drug to treat allergic skin diseases such as chronic urticaria or skin diseases originating from allergies.
What is more remarkable is that the medicinal product is condensed into the necessary uses. When doing experiments, the actual results prove that the effect of the drug is good for the patient and the drug does not penetrate through the blood-brain barrier. Thanks to non-intrusion, the nervous system will be less affected. When taking the drug, the patient can lead to drowsiness, but this rate is quite low, only about 1-2% of the total users.

2. Appropriate dosage for each patient treated with Clarityne

Each drug will be studied to anticipate the situation and give instructions at the safest level for users. However, all instructions are for reference only, you should still seek advice from a pharmacist or specialist for support on the correct method of using the drug.
Prepared drugs are divided into 2 types. Each type can be used in a different situation. Specifically, Clarityne 10mg is prepared in tablet form and Clarityne 5ml or 5mg is prepared in syrup form. Dosage as well as drug form will determine the object of use and division according to each disease condition.
2.1 Dosage for children from 12 years old and adults Children 12 years and older and adults will be instructed to use a dose of 10ml/day/use. Adults usually take the pill form, while teenagers will prefer the syrup form. If using syrup, you need to pay attention to measure 10ml to use.
For patients with pre-existing medical conditions, the dose will need to be re-evaluated. When you are diagnosed with liver failure, the dose will be changed, and for people with kidney failure, the usual dose will stay the same. Therefore, even though most of the 10ml doses are used, you should still use them as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drug.
2.2 Guidelines for appropriate dosing for children under 12 years Children under 2 years of age will be prescribed largely based on weight. At this age, the child's weight usually does not exceed 30 kg. However, the development of children in each period is not always uniform, so many children will soon exceed 30 kg at the age of 12. Therefore, the dose will be divided into 2 cases:
Dosage for children with weight weighing more than 30kg Fast-growing children who are supplemented with adequate nutrition are likely to gain weight quickly to reach more than 40kg or reach 50kg at the age of 12. With this weight, children will be charged the same dose as adults. Each day should use 1 capsule or 2 tablespoons of syrup equivalent to 10 mg of clarityne per day. Take the medicine only once a day according to the prescribed dose.
Dosage for children weighing less than 30kg Children under 30kg will usually only take half the adult dose. Therefore, children are often encouraged to use syrup form for convenient weighing. If you take the pill every day, you will take it once a day and the dose is half a pill. As for the syrup, you only need to measure 5ml.
2.3 How to use clarityne Antiallergic drugs clarityne as well as other allergy treatment drugs should be used under the supervision of a doctor. First, it is necessary to determine that the medicine you are using is exactly as recommended and licensed to ensure the patient's health when used.
When instructing, the doctor will pay special attention and remind the patient not to change the dosage arbitrarily. Increasing or decreasing the dose or changing the duration of drug treatment will all be detrimental to the health and condition of the user.
According to research, the drug can be taken with or without food. That means the effect of the drug will not be affected by food too much. However, if taken with food you may experience some problems such as reducing stomach irritation. Note that when taking the drug, it is necessary to drink more water to neutralize and help the drug quickly absorb into the body.
During the course of using the drug you may experience unusual reactions. In some cases, it may take time to get used to the drug. Therefore, you need to pay attention to your unusual symptoms to promptly notify your doctor.

3. What to do when you accidentally take an overdose

Any drug has the risk of endangering health if you abuse the drug or increase the dose on your own. According to the analytical results obtained from the experiment, each oral administration of 160 mg of the active ingredient loratadin purified from clarityne has almost no side effects.
If you fall into the remaining situation, you may feel your body change and appear some symptoms such as palpitations, headache or lethargy. These are signs that the body is reacting to the effects of the drug and need to be quickly taken to the hospital or medical station for emergency.
When there are health problems that require going to the hospital, you need to bring prescriptions and treatment logs nearby. The medications you have taken, whether prescription or non-prescription, will become the basis for your doctor to make the most accurate conclusions about your medical condition.
The problem of forgetting to take medicine will often happen if it is not your habit. So what if you accidentally miss a dose? If the time is short, you can still take that dose to ensure the full dose for the day of use. However, in case it is found that the missed dose is close to the next dose, the 2 doses should not be combined to make up for the missed dose.
If the next dose is too close to the missed dose you should take your next dose as scheduled and do not make up for the missed dose. The use of double doses is not recommended and risks affecting the effectiveness of the drug as well as the health safety of the patient being used.

4. What are the possible side effects when taking Clarityne?

When using clarityne medicine you will encounter a few common side effects such as: body fatigue, lethargy with drowsiness, headache, no mouth, stomach and intestinal problems , nausea or diarrhea,...
In addition to the above common side effects, you may also experience some other more dangerous side effects such as: hypersensitivity to the drug's ingredients, impaired function liver activity, sudden increase in heart rate, dizziness with palpitations, abnormal hair loss, convulsions. These manifestations will be rarer but the level of danger is high and needs to be treated promptly.
The common and rare side effects listed above are statistically based on the statistical probabilities of experimental data. The occurrence rate will determine the level of danger and whether the risk is high or low. However, given the fact that manifestations will vary since the laboratory environment is ideal, it is extremely difficult to achieve fully realistic research.
Most of the experimental results will be described by the doctor as best as possible. This helps to exclude and detect abnormalities in the patient early. If you need more advice about side effects when using Clarityne, please contact your doctor or specialist pharmacist to help you clarify your questions.
In particular, the ingredients of anti-allergic drugs still have the risk of causing allergies to the patient if the body is sensitive to any of the ingredients of the drug. Pregnant and lactating women are prohibited from taking drugs without a prescription.
During treatment, drugs used in parallel may be a risk of side effects for users. You need to pay more attention to reduce the side effects of the drug if the target is young children and the elderly. If the patient has a history of asthma or impaired liver and kidney function, care should be taken so that the drug does not affect the functioning of the organs.
Some genetic disorders can make the side effects of the drug more influential. Especially patients who need to follow a diet to maintain activity for the body. In addition, some subjects have special physical requirements, especially when using the drug clarityne, need to pay special attention to ensure such as:
Pregnant and lactating women: The absolute safety of the drug with Pregnancy is not happening. Therefore, do not arbitrarily use drugs except those prescribed by the doctor. Studies have not revealed a risk, but it is possible that loratadine is excreted in breast milk and may affect a baby's development. If you need to use it, you should consider stopping breastfeeding if it is a premature baby or an infant.
Workers who frequently work with machines or drive vehicles: The effects of clarityne are not meningeal, but still need attention if your job requires alertness when performing. Dangerous side effects are rare, but drowsiness can be dangerous to drive and use machines. So you should consider if your doctor prescribes using clarityne for treatment.
Patients need to conduct a skin test: Clarine can be anti-allergic and chronic urticaria caused to the body. However, skin tests may be affected if the experimenter takes the drug within 48 hours from the start of the test to the last time the drug was taken. Skin reactions will reduce the influence of the test results caused by antihistamines.
People with diabetes: Diabetics will be considered for treatment to limit the use of drugs containing sucrose sugar. If you have been diagnosed with pre-existing diabetes, be very careful and consult your doctor for help.

The use of drugs should be supervised and supported by the doctor throughout the patient's treatment. Any problem of taking extra medicine, changing the dose or stopping suddenly will put your health at risk. It can even be life-threatening if rare side effects appear.

The active ingredient loratadine has the potential to interact with an inhibitor causing the concentration to increase when used. It is the cause of an increased risk of dangerous side effects when taking the drug. Therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention to avoid sharing drugs that inhibit liver function as well as potentially interact with each other, putting the patient's health at risk.
In addition, a number of experiments with the co-administration of clarityne with alcohol have been conducted. Current results show that this drug does not cause severe psychiatric effects . However, if used together with alcohol and tobacco, the interaction will cause unpredictable dangers. Therefore, if you want to share clarityne with food or alcohol or tobacco, you should consult your doctor.
One of the most important issues that we cannot ignore is the patient's physical condition. When health is not guaranteed, drug interactions can also change. You need to perform regular health check-ups so that your doctor can control and make the best judgment so that the use of medicines does not appear dangerous errors.
