Abstract

The treatment of choice for most of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria patients is an oral H1 receptor blocker. There are many of them on the pharma market. Desloratadine belongs to this group. Interestingly, this compound is safe and efficient across the all age groups. This paper is focused on pharmacological and clinical data regarding desloratadine.
