Delorex, desloratadine, is a long-acting tricyclic histamine antagonist with selective Hl -receptor histamine antagonist activity. It is a metabolite of loratadine. It does not cross the blood brain barrier. It inhibited histamine release from human mast cells in vitro.
Following oral administration of desloratadine 5 mg, mean peak plasma concentrations are reached within 3 hours. Neithgrfhod nogapçsitjuice had an effect on the bioavailability of desloratadine tablet and syrup. 
Deslorstadine and 3-hydroxydesloratadine are approximately 85%protein bound. 
Desioratadine is metabolised to an active metabolite, 3- hydroxydesloratadine. This metabolite subsequently undergoes glucuronidation. 
Half-life of desloratadine is 27 hours. A recovery of approximately 87% of a 14C-desloratadine dose is equally distributed in the urine and faeces as metabolic products. 
aItdiflfl... - Relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis in patients 6 months of age and older. - Symptomatic relief of pruritus, reduction in the number of hives, and size of hives, in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria 6 months of age and older. - Symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.
Frequency and magnitude of laboratory and electrocardiographic abnormalities were similar in desloratadine and placebo-treated patients. 
Rare side effects of the syrup form may occur such as fever, diarrhoea, appetite increase, emotional lability, pharyngitia, somnolence, insomnia. 
N.B: Overdosage of desloratadine: little increase in QT with no clinically relevant adverse events was reported. 
In patients who are hyprsensitive to desloratadine, to any of the product ingredients, or to loratadine. 
No adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women are documented, therefore, desloratadine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. 
As deslorstadine passes into breast milk, therefore a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue desloratadine, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. 
Dosage adjustment for patients with renal or hepstic impairment is recommended. 
Safety of tablets and syrup have not been demonstrated in paediathc patients less than 6 months of age.
