Lorat 10mg Loratadine Tablets 28 Pack — Non-Drowsy Antihistamine for Hayfever & Allergy

Lorat 10mg contains loratadine — a second-generation, non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve the symptoms of hayfever, allergic rhinitis, pet allergies and urticaria (hives). As a non-sedating antihistamine, it provides effective allergy symptom relief without causing the drowsiness associated with first-generation antihistamines such as Piriton (chlorphenamine) — making it suitable for daily use during allergy season without affecting driving, work or concentration.

Lorat is therapeutically equivalent to branded loratadine products at a fraction of the price — one of the best-value antihistamines available in Irish pharmacy.

• Urticaria (hives) — itchy raised skin welts caused by allergic reactions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lorat the same as Clarityn?

Yes. Lorat 10mg and Clarityn both contain loratadine 10mg as the active ingredient and are therapeutically equivalent — they provide identical allergy relief. The difference is brand name and price. Lorat is typically more affordable while delivering the same once-daily, non-drowsy antihistamine effect. Our pharmacists are happy to confirm equivalence if needed.

What is the difference between Lorat (loratadine) and Piriton (chlorphenamine)?

Loratadine (Lorat) is a second-generation antihistamine — non-sedating, once daily, suitable for use when driving or working. Chlorphenamine (Piriton) is a first-generation antihistamine — sedating, more frequent dosing required, not suitable for driving. For daily daytime allergy management during hayfever season, loratadine is the preferred choice. Piriton may be preferred for night-time use where sedation is acceptable or desirable for sleep. Both are available from Chemco Pharmacy.

Should I take Lorat every day during hayfever season?

Yes — consistent daily use throughout the hayfever season is more effective than taking it only when symptoms are noticeable. Antihistamines work best when maintained at a steady level in the body. Starting daily treatment a week or two before the pollen season begins (typically late March to September in Ireland depending on allergen) can prevent symptoms before they start rather than simply controlling them after they occur.
