Clarinex is widely used and popular because of its non-drowsy characteristic. Many antihistamines tell users to avoid machinery or driving while taking it, but Clarinex does not. This drug was also the first to boast that grapefruit juice did not affect its absorption.

Schering-Plough Corporation today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved CLARINEX-D(R) 24 HOUR (desloratadine 5mg and pseudoephedrine sulfate USP 240 mg) Extended Release Tablets for the relief of the nasal and non-nasal symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (outdoor allergies), including nasal congestion, in patients 12 years of age and older.

If you forget to take a dose of Clarinex, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal dosing schedule. Never take a double dose.
