Mode of Action

Loratadine is a long-acting, non-sedating antihistamine with little antimuscarinic activity. Pseudoephedrine, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the alpha-receptors and produces a decongestant effect by shrinking congested mucosa in the upper respiratory areas.

Potentially Fatal: Pseudoephedrine: Increased risk of psychosis with bromocriptine; increased risk of fatal hypertensive crisis with MAOI, avoid concurrent use during and for 2 wk after stopping the MAOI; increased BP with linezolid and selegiline.
