Clarinex is classified as an antihistamine. This means its method of action is to block the effects of histamine, a natural substance in your body released by an overactive immune system during an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction occurs when your body inadvertently reacts to substances it views as harmful. These substances are called allergens.
