Desloratadine tablets are an effective remedy against allergic symptoms such as a runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, rash, itchiness of the skin, hives and itching in the eyes or nose. One of the principal chemicals released in the human body as a reaction to allergens is histamine.

Desloratadine is a medication recommended for the treatment of hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis). Allergic rhinitis affects more than 20% of the people in the United Kingdom.
When allergens like pollen, dust mites or pet dander enter the nose of a susceptible person, the immune system reacts in the same way as it would to a flu virus. Our body produces extra mucous to protect against allergens, leading to congestion, sneezing or runny nose; the body also produces the histamine chemical at this time. Histamine can cause inflammation in your nasal passages and make you feel more awake or alert.
