Product Description
Aerius 5mg Tablets 30 Tablets is a long-acting, non-sedating antihistamine that provides 24-hour relief from symptoms of seasonal/perennial allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny/itchy nose, itchy palate, red/itchy/watery eyes) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives, itching). Desloratadine selectively blocks peripheral H1 receptors with minimal brain penetration, so it rarely causes drowsiness (similar placebo in studies).
