Description:

Lyon 5mg Tablets contain Desloratadine, a long-acting, non-sedating antihistamine used for the relief of allergy symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial) and chronic idiopathic urticaria. Desloratadine is the active metabolite of loratadine and works by selectively blocking peripheral histamine H₁-receptors, thereby preventing the effects of histamine without crossing the blood-brain barrier—minimizing drowsiness.

Key Features:

• Non-sedating, once-daily antihistamine.

• Rapid onset and long duration of action (up to 24 hours).

• Effective in treating nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, and skin rashes.

• Does not impair cognitive or motor performance.

• Suitable for long-term use in allergic conditions.

Dosage & Administration:

• Adults and adolescents ≥12 years: 5 mg once daily.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Swallow tablet whole with water.

Precautions:

• Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Desloratadine or any of its components.

• Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment.

• Pregnancy and lactation: Use only if clearly needed and prescribed.

• Does not interact with alcohol, but caution is advised.
