APOHealth Desloratadine 5mg 40 Pack
APOHealth Desloratadine provides reliable, once-daily relief from hayfever and allergy symptoms without the daytime drowsiness seen with many older antihistamines. Each film-coated tablet contains desloratadine 5 mg, a long-acting second-generation antihistamine that blocks histamine to ease sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy/watery eyes, and itch associated with hives (urticaria). The 40-tablet value pack supports season-long or ongoing management with simple one-a-day dosing.
