Overview
Pharmaniaga Loratadine 10mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Loratadine 10mg – active antihistamine ingredient. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Take one tablet by mouth once daily, with or without food, swallowed with a glass of water; it can be taken at any convenient time of day but should be taken at roughly the same time each day for consistent allergy control. Follow the dosing instructions on the packaging for children, or as advised by a pharmacist, since a lower dose or different formulation may be appropriate depending on age.
Dosage
The usual adult and adolescent (aged 12 years and above) dose is one 10mg tablet once a day; do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours. Children below the age or weight stated on the packaging should not be given this specific strength without a pharmacist’s or doctor’s guidance, and dose adjustment may be needed for those with significant liver impairment.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, keeping tablets in their original blister packaging until ready to use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children at all times.
Side Effects
Headache
Dry mouth
Sleepiness or fatigue (less common)
Gastrointestinal discomfort
Nervousness or dizziness (rare)
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity or allergy to loratadine or any other ingredient in this tablet
Not recommended for children below the minimum age stated on the packaging without medical advice
Caution advised in patients with significant liver impairment, as loratadine is processed by the liver and dose adjustment may be needed
Caution advised during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult a doctor or pharmacist before use in these situations
Drug / Food Interactions
Alcohol and other sedating medicines are unlikely to interact significantly, but caution is still advised as individual sensitivity varies
Certain medicines that strongly affect liver enzymes (such as ketoconazole, erythromycin, or cimetidine) may increase loratadine levels in the blood, though this is not usually clinically significant at standard doses
Taking with grapefruit juice is generally not a known significant interaction for loratadine, unlike some other medicines
Inform your pharmacist or doctor of all other medicines you are taking, especially other antihistamines or cold/flu combination products, to avoid duplicate dosing
Quick Tips
Take at the same time each day for consistent allergy symptom control
Do not combine with other antihistamine-containing products, including some cold and flu remedies, without checking the label or asking a pharmacist
Effects usually begin within an hour and last around 24 hours, supporting once-daily use
See a doctor if allergy symptoms do not improve after a few days of regular use, or if you experience wheezing, chest tightness, or facial swelling
Keep a symptom diary if you experience seasonal allergies to identify your specific triggers
Do not exceed the stated dose even if symptoms feel severe; consult a pharmacist instead

Relevant Information
Loratadine is generally suitable for regular seasonal or year-round allergy management, but persistent, severe, or worsening allergic symptoms, especially those affecting breathing, warrant a review by a doctor to rule out other causes or to consider additional treatment. Loratadine does not treat the underlying cause of allergies and does not provide immediate relief for a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), which requires emergency medical treatment.

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
Use this medicine before the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton. Do not use tablets beyond the stated expiry date, and dispose of any unused or expired medicine responsibly.
