    ACTIONS

    Desloratadine is a non-sedating long-acting histamine antagonist with potent, selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist activity.

    Desloratadine has demonstrated anti allergic, antihistaminic, and anti-inflammatory activity. In addition to antihistaminic activity, desloratadine has demonstrated antiallergic and anti-inflammatory activity from numerous in vitro (mainly conducted on cells of human origin) and in vivo studies. These studies have shown that desloratadine inhibits the broad cascade of events that initiate and propagate allergic inflammation.
