Relieving Allergies

Allergic rhinitis affects up to 30% of people worldwide and can have a real impact on everyday life.¹ If you live with allergies, you know how symptoms such as sneezing, a blocked or runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes can disrupt sleep, drain energy, and make it harder to focus on the things that matter.

It can mean missing time outdoors when pollen counts are high, struggling to concentrate at school or work, or feeling uncomfortable during everyday activities. And allergies aren’t limited to a particular season. While pollen is a common trigger, indoor allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold can cause symptoms year-round.

Rising rates of respiratory allergies and seasonal allergies in some regions have been associated with factors such as urban air pollution and other environmental changes.^2,3 Understanding your triggers and available symptom management options is therefore increasingly important.

• Claritin^TM is a family of allergy products that provides proven, non-drowsy, all-day relief from runny or itchy nose, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, and itchy throat. Its active ingredient, loratadine, is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, an inflammatory molecule released by the immune system during an allergic reaction.⁴ Claritin targets the receptors in your eyes, nose, and throat to help stop symptoms at their source. Because it has minimal effect on histamine receptors in the brain, Claritin provides allergy relief without drowsiness, so people can focus on what matters.

Claritin comes in many forms and flavors. It offers relief for both indoor and outdoor allergies, for adults and children, helping people enjoy everyday life as if they didn’t have allergies.
