How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (DESLORATADINE). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Desloratadine is a long-acting tricyclic histamine antagonist with selective H 1 -receptor histamine antagonist activity.

Receptor binding data indicates that at a concentration of 2 to 3 ng/mL (7 nanomolar), desloratadine shows significant interaction with the human histamine H 1 -receptor.

With food

Neither food nor grapefruit juice had an effect on the bioavailability (C max and AUC) of desloratadine.
