how often can you take claritin

Claritin (loratadine) is typically taken once a day, with a usual adult dose being 10 mg once daily. It can be taken daily and long term if allergy symptoms are chronic or year-round. For seasonal or occasional allergies, it is taken daily when needed. One should not take more than one dose in a 24-hour period. Follow the instructions on the package or doctor's directions and do not exceed the recommended dose. Children’s doses vary based on age and weight. Claritin tablets should not be crushed or chewed but swallowed whole, except for chewable forms which are to be chewed.
