Wasn't there some big scandal several years ago about how Claritin only worked on about 50% of the people used it? --User:Arm

Never heard of it. I doubt that's possible. I just know around cats I mine as well die and claritin makes LAN parties possible - or if I have housecalls for work, I have to run and grab a claritin asap - or the homeowner will think I have a terrible flu.--x1987x(talk) 22:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, is there any difference in chemical makeup between Claritin© and Claritin-D©? It'd just be helpful information for the article. MToolen 22:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Claritin just contains loratadine. Claritin-D also includes 240mg of time-release pseudoephedrine. Haikupoet 23:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

The link "Lek" inside Wikipedia did not lead neither to pharmaceutical company "Lek" nor to "Sandoz", whose part it is now. I added a line about it on disambiguation page.


Says "doesn't cause drowsiness" but in the side-effects it says "drowsiness"

  • In normal doses it doesn't -- apparently it's fairly poor at crossing the blood-brain barrier or something like that. You have to overdose on it to get a sedative effect. Haikupoet 04:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Also note that the side effects of dry mouth, GI disturbance and drowsiness are listed in the side effects of almost every drug sold. In fact, in several studies even placebo has these "side effects." the concensus is that these "side effects" are common everyday feelings that people get and are unrelated to the drugs. how often do you how upset stomachs or feel tired? 69.160.209.33 20:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Korea and foreign names

The name in Korea is 로라타딘 but I'm not sure where it should go in the article. --Gbleem 06:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
