NURSING MOTHERS:Desloratadine passes into breast milk and should therefore be used with caution in nursing mothers.

As with any medicine, side effects can occur with Clarinex. However, not everyone who takes it will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate the drug well. If people do develop side effects, in most cases, they are minor, meaning they require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

The FDA has recently approved Clarinex-D 24 Hour (desloratadine 5 mg and pseudoephedrine sulfate USP 240 mg) extended release tablets to treat nasal and non-nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis in patients 12 years of age or older. There were two 2-week trials, both demonstrating significantly greater efficacy of Clarinex-D 24 Hour for allergic rhinitis, compared to desloratidine or pseudoephedrine, which led to FDA approval of this combination 24-hour medication. Clarinex-D 24 Hour also provided significantly greater relief from nasal congestion compared to desloratadine.
