PRODUCT MONOGRAPH NAME OF DRUG CLARITIN* (loratadine) Tablets - 10 mg Rapid Dissolve Tongue Tablets - 10 mg Syrup - 1 mg/mL THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION Histamine H 1 receptor antagonist ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Loratadine is a long-acting tricyclic antihistamine with selective peripheral H 1 receptor antagonistic activity. It exhibits a dose-related inhibition of the histamine-induced skin wheal and flare response in humans which is rapid in onset, is apparent at two hours and persists throughout the 24 hour observation period. Single oral doses up to 160 mg and repeat daily doses of 40 mg for up to 13 weeks were well tolerated with the incidence of sedation and dry mouth being no different from placebo. 14 C-loratadine is rapidly absorbed reaching Cmax values (4.7, 10.8 and 26.1 ng/mL) at 1.5, 1.0 and 1.3 hours for the 10, 20 and 40 mg dose, respectively. The loratadine elimination half-life (T-1/2) ranged from 7.8-11.0 hours. Descarboethoxyloratadine, the major active metabolite, reached Cmax values (4.0, 9.9 and 16.0 ng/mL) at 3.7, 1.5 and 2.0 hours after a dose of 10, 20 and 40 mg, respectively. Its T-1/2 ranged from 17 to 24 2 hours. The accumulation indices, calculated by Cmax and the area under the curve (AUC) ratios did not change after the 5th day, indicating little or no accumulation of either loratadine or its metabolite after a multiple once per day dosage regimen. The T-1/2 at steady state levels for loratadine and its metabolite were 14.4 and 18.7 hours, respectively, similar to that reported following a single oral dose. The confidence intervals for Cmax and AUC(I) are within the 80-125% range indicating that the CLARITIN* Rapid Dissolve Tongue Tablets were bioe Olvassa el a teljes dokumentumot
