DEZOFLAV TAB

About

DEZOFLAV TAB contains Desloratadine, a non-sedating, long-acting antihistamine that selectively antagonizes peripheral H1-receptors. This medication is primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with allergic reactions, such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). Desloratadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic response, thereby reducing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, nasal congestion, and skin rash or itching. Unlike older generation antihistamines, Desloratadine has minimal to no sedative effects at recommended doses, allowing patients to maintain alertness and perform daily activities without impairment. Its prolonged action provides 24-hour relief with a single daily dose, making it a convenient and effective option for managing allergic conditions.
