About Defoz-10 Tablet
Defoz-10 Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antihistamines’ used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is characterized by a runny nose, sneezing, red, watery, itchy, and swollen eyes occurring due to exposure to allergens. Urticaria (hives) is an itchy skin reaction due to triggers such as food, drugs, or other irritation.
Defoz-10 Tablet contains ‘desloratadine’ which acts as an antihistamine. It blocks the action of histamines (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reduces the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms. Unlike other antihistamine drugs, it doesn’t cause drowsiness.
Take Defoz-10 Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Defoz-10 Tablet based on your medical condition. Defoz-10 Tablet may cause side effects such as fatigue (lack of energy), dry mouth, and headache. In general, these side effects usually go away without treatment.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are taking any prescription or non-prescription medicines, including dietary or herbal supplements. Inform your doctor if you are previously diagnosed with seizures (fits) and liver or kidney failure. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, and breastfeeding.
