LOR Q TABLET 10'S belongs to the class of antihistamine medication primarily used to relieve the symptoms of allergies such as hay fever, conjunctivitis (red, itchy eyes), eczema, hives (urticaria), reactions to insect bites and stings, and some food allergies. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person.

LOR Q TABLET 10'S contains loratadine, a non-drowsy antihistamine. LOR Q TABLET 10'S is responsible for reducing the effects of the natural chemical 'histamine' present in the body. This chemical is responsible for producing symptoms, including watery eyes, runny nose, and other allergic symptoms.

Use LOR Q TABLET 10'S as prescribed by the doctor. LOR Q TABLET 10'S, like all medications, can have side effects. However, not everyone experiences them. The most prevalent adverse effect is drowsiness or sleepiness. Headaches, fatigue, and nervousness may occur in youngsters. However, these side effects may not last long and go on for some time.
