Claritin generic equivalent?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Claritin

The generic equivalent of Claritin is loratadine.

Quick facts:
- What it is: a second-generation antihistamine (non-sedating) for allergic rhinitis and hives.
- Common forms and doses (US):
- 10 mg tablets (adults and children 6+), take once daily.
- 5 mg chewable tablets (children 2–5 years, or as directed).
- Oral solution/syrup (various concentrations for kids).
- Brand alternatives: Alavert (another brand of loratadine); many store brands are simply labeled loratadine.
- If you’re asking about Claritin-D (loratadine with pseudoephedrine): the generic would be loratadine 5 mg with pseudoephedrine 120 mg per tablet (12-hour) or 240 mg per day (depending on the product).

If you’d like, tell me your country/region and whether you need a 10 mg tablet, a chewable for a child, or a loratadine with pseudoephedrine, and I can point you to typical generic options and dosing.
