Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet 10s (strip)
RM 5.50
Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet is a second-generation antihistamine medicine belonging to the selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist drug class, with loratadine as its active pharmaceutical ingredient — manufactured by the Malaysian government-linked company Pharmaniaga Manufacturing Berhad and registered with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Authority (NPRA) under registration number MAL19991552XZ. Like all medicines, it can cause some side effects, and the most commonly reported ones include headache, drowsiness (though it is considered relatively non-sedating), dry mouth, and fatigue — so it is always a good idea to see how the medication affects you before driving or operating machinery. It is important that you take this medicine only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, do not exceed the recommended dose, and inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver or kidney disease before starting this medication. As a prescription-only medicine (POM) in Malaysia, please ensure you have a valid prescription from a registered doctor before purchasing, and only buy from a licensed pharmacy or verified online pharmacy to ensure you receive an authentic, NPRA-registered product.
Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet is taken orally — swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water and do not crush or chew it; it may be taken with or without food, whichever is more comfortable for you. For most adults and children over 12 years, the tablet is taken once daily at approximately the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the medicine in your body, and it is generally recommended to take it in the morning to align with daily routines. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions, as your dosing frequency or timing may vary depending on your individual condition.
The standard recommended dose for adults and children aged 12 years and above is one tablet (10mg) taken once daily; for patients with hepatic (liver) impairment or severe renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate below 30 mL/min), a lower starting dose of one tablet every alternate day is typically recommended, as determined by a doctor. Do not take more than one tablet (10mg) within any 24-hour period, and do not give this medicine to children younger than 2 years old.
Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet has a manufacturer shelf life of up to 3 years from the date of manufacture, with the exact expiry date printed on the outer carton and individual blister strips. Always check the expiry date before taking a tablet — do not consume this medication beyond its stated expiration date, even if the tablets appear visually unchanged, as expired medicine may have reduced potency or altered chemical properties. After dispensing, store the product correctly as directed and observe any pharmacy-labelled expiry date, which may be earlier than the manufacturer's stated date.
Store Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet at a controlled room temperature between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F), in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until ready for use — do not transfer them to another container, as the foil-blister packaging provides an important moisture and light barrier. In Malaysia’s warm tropical climate, be especially careful to avoid storing this medication in bathrooms, on windowsills, in car dashboards or glove compartments, or any area exposed to humidity and heat. Store all medicines — including this one — out of sight and out of reach of young children and pets at all times. Dispose of any unused or expired tablets through a licensed pharmacy medication take-back programme or in accordance with local disposal guidelines; do not flush down the drain or throw into household waste.
The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in each Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet is Loratadine, present at a strength of 10mg per tablet. Loratadine is a well-established, long-acting second-generation antihistamine that acts as a selective inverse agonist of peripheral histamine H1-receptors. Unlike first-generation antihistamines (such as chlorpheniramine or promethazine), loratadine has limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier, which is why it is classified as a “relatively non-sedating” antihistamine and causes less drowsiness in most patients.
Loratadine is principally metabolised in the liver by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system — specifically by CYP3A4 and, to a lesser degree, CYP2D6 — into its pharmacologically active metabolite desloratadine, which also contributes to its antihistaminic activity. The drug has a long duration of action, providing up to 24 hours of coverage with a single once-daily dose.
In addition to the active ingredient, each tablet typically contains the following pharmaceutical excipients: lactose monohydrate, maize starch, magnesium stearate, and other standard tablet-forming agents — patients with known lactose intolerance should consult their doctor or pharmacist before use.
