Use in pregnancy & lactation
Loratadine should not be administered during pregnancy. There is no experience of the use of Loratadine in human pregnancy. In animal studies Loratadine was not teratogenic; at high doses, some embryotoxic effects were observed. Since Loratadine is excreted in breast milk, it should not be administered to lactating women.
