Clarinex (DESLORATADINE) is an antihistamine that provides relief of seasonal allergy symptoms and allergic nasal conditions (rhinitis) such as runny nose, sneezing, and watery/itching eyes. It may also be used to treat hives. Clarinex is called Aerius in Canada and is a non prescription item for both U.S. and Canadian residents.
NURSING MOTHERS:Desloratadine passes into breast milk and should therefore be used with caution in nursing mothers.
Schering Plough and Sepracor have settled a patent dispute with Indian generics maker Dr. Reddy's over Clarinex. The settlement brings forward the end of patent exclusivity on Clarinex to 2012. Previously, the assumption had been that Schering's exclusivity with Clarinex would last until 2020.
