"I’ve been taking this medication for a while now, it does work to stop the itching, but as soon as I take it, it seems to bring out the rash more, and it’s really sore to touch, and the rash doesn’t go away for up to a day."

"I had a chronic cough for 5 months. Tried nose drops - didn't help. Lung X-ray was clean. Tried Losec for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Helped a little but kept clearing my throat and coughing. Finally tried loratadine. Immediately started to help. After a week on loratadine I was not clearing my throat or coughing, it works. Excellent!"
