Loratadine oral suspension, usually 5 mg/5 mL, a non-sedating antihistamine liquid for children with allergic rhinitis or itchy rashes, for importers, distributors and pharmacy chains stocking paediatric allergy lines.

Product Description:

Loratadine oral suspension is the liquid form of a second-generation antihistamine, made mainly for children. Loratadine blocks peripheral H1 histamine receptors and crosses into the brain far less than older antihistamines, so drowsiness is uncommon. The usual strength is 5 mg per 5 mL, that is 1 mg/mL. A measured liquid lets parents give a 5 mg dose without splitting tablets.

The suspension is used for allergic rhinitis, seasonal or year-round, and for itchy rashes such as chronic urticaria. Labels typically allow use from age two, with the dose set by weight: smaller children take 5 mL once daily and those over about 30 kg take 10 mL. Shake the bottle and use the syringe or cup supplied. Severe liver impairment calls for a reduced or alternate-day dose. It should be stopped about two days before allergy skin tests. Many markets sell it without prescription.

Sourcing notes. Classification varies: pharmacy or general sale in many markets, prescription-only elsewhere, usually with a CTD or ACTD dossier. For a paediatric liquid, ask for the full excipient list, including sweetener, preservative, colour and any alcohol, as authorities and parents check these closely. Confirm bottle type, child-resistant closure, dosing device and shelf life after opening. Ask for zone IVb stability and resuspendability data. Request a batch CoA covering assay, preservative content and microbial limits, plus a GMP certificate and CoPP. In your enquiry, state strength, bottle volume, flavour and label language.
