Deloriar is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Deloriar is used to treat the symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, watery eyes, and runny nose. It is also used to treat skin hives and itching in people with chronic skin reactions.
Deloriar may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Deloriar indications
An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.

In patients receiving 5 mg daily, the rate of adverse events was similar between Deloriar and placebo-treated patients. The percent of patients who withdrew prematurely due to adverse events was 2.4% in the Deloriar group and 2.6% in the placebo group.

The frequency and magnitude of laboratory and electrocardiographic abnormalities were similar in Deloriar and placebo-treated patients.

The following spontaneous adverse events have been reported during the marketing of Deloriar: tachycardia, palpitations, rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions (such as rash, pruritus, urticaria, edema, dyspnea, and anaphylaxis), psychomotor hyperactivity, movement disorders (including dystonia, tics, and extrapyramidal symptoms), seizures, and elevated liver enzymes including bilirubin, and very rarely, hepatitis.
