Indications of Deslor 5mg Tablet

Pharmacology

Desloratadine is a type of antihistamine that selectively blocks the H1 receptors on peripheral cells, preventing the effects of histamine, which is responsible for causing allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and inflammation. It is considered long-acting because its effects can last up to 24 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing.

Desloratadine is a tricyclic compound, meaning it contains three rings in its molecular structure. It is also non-sedating, which means it does not cause drowsiness or impair cognitive function, making it safe to use while performing daily activities such as driving or operating machinery.

Desloratadine works by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, from mast cells and basophils. This helps to reduce the severity of allergy symptoms and prevent their onset in individuals with allergies.
