DELORDIN

What Is Delordin Used For?

Delordin is mainly used to treat allergic conditions, such as:

Allergic rhinitis (seasonal or year-round)
Sneezing, nasal congestion, and an itchy nose
Itchy or watery eyes
Skin allergies like chronic hives (urticaria)
Redness, itching, or swelling caused by allergic reactions

Delordin helps control allergy symptoms caused by things like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, mold, or certain foods. It does not cure allergies, but it helps you manage the symptoms so you can function normally.

Active Ingredient in Delordin

The active ingredient in Delordin is Desloratadine, which is a second-generation antihistamine.

Delordin Dosage

Each tablet or syrup dose (depending on the form) contains a specific amount of desloratadine, usually 5 mg per tablet for adults.

How Delordin Works (Mode of Action)

When you’re allergic to something, your immune system releases a chemical known as histamine, which causes symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy skin. Delordin contains Desloratadine, which blocks the effects of histamine by attaching to histamine receptors in your body. This stops histamine from triggering allergic reactions.

Because it’s a second-generation antihistamine, Delordin works specifically on allergy symptoms without affecting the brain much. That means it won’t usually make you feel sleepy or slow, unlike older allergy medications.

Delordin Recommended Dosage

For adults and teenagers (12 years and older): The usual dose is 5 mg once a day, either as a tablet or syrup.
For children between 6 to 11 years old: The dose is generally 2.5 mg once a day (check with a doctor).
For children under 6 years:
Always consult a pediatrician before giving any antihistamine.
You can take Delordin with or without food.

How Quickly Does Delordin Work?

It starts working within 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking it. You may feel relief from your allergy symptoms in less than an hour, and the effect lasts for a full 24 hours. This makes it ideal for once-a-day use.

Possible Side Effects of Delordin

Most people who take Delordin do not experience serious side effects. However, like all medications, some side effects may occur, including:

Headache
Dry mouth
Fatigue (though it’s usually mild)

In rare cases, some people may experience allergic reactions like rash, itching, or difficulty breathing. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop taking the medicine and talk to a healthcare provider immediately.

Delordin is non-drowsy for most people, so it won’t usually make you feel tired. However, a few individuals might still experience mild drowsiness.

Is it okay to take Delordin with other medications?

Generally, Delordin is safe with most medicines, but you should always tell your doctor about any other drugs or supplements you’re taking.
