 What are Metalor 5mg Tablets?

Metalor 5mg Tablets are a type of antihistamine medication used to treat allergic conditions such as hay fever, hives, and allergic rhinitis. The medication contains Desloratadine as its active substance, which works by blocking the effects of histamine in the body, thereby reducing allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose.

Desloratadine belongs to a class of medications called second-generation antihistamines, which are known for their ability to provide long-lasting relief from allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness.

Uses of Metalor 5mg Tablets

Metalor 5mg Tablets are primarily used to treat allergic conditions such as hay fever, hives, and allergic rhinitis. These conditions are caused by an overactive immune response to certain allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.

When a person is exposed to an allergen, their immune system produces histamine, which is responsible for the symptoms of an allergic reaction. Metalor 5mg Tablets work by blocking the effects of histamine in the body, thereby reducing allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose.

Metalor 5mg Tablets may also be prescribed for other conditions such as chronic idiopathic urticaria (a type of skin rash) and pruritus (itching).
