Description

Antial 10mg is an oral tablet manufactured by Sami Pharmaceuticals, containing Loratadine as its active ingredient. Supplied as 20 tablets per pack, it belongs to the second-generation antihistamine class, known for providing long-lasting allergy relief with a low likelihood of causing drowsiness compared to older allergy medicines.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains 10mg of Loratadine, combined with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the tablet’s formulation and consistent absorption once taken.

Dosage Form

Antial is manufactured as an oral tablet, packaged 20 tablets per box, meant to be swallowed with a glass of water.

Uses

Antial 10mg is used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery or itchy eyes, whether triggered by seasonal allergens like pollen or year-round irritants such as dust and pet dander. It is also used to ease itching and hives (urticaria) associated with chronic skin allergies. Loratadine works by selectively blocking peripheral histamine H1 receptors, targeting the source of allergic symptoms while having minimal effect on the central nervous system.

How to Use

Take one tablet daily, with or without food, at roughly the same time each day for consistent relief. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew or break it. A single dose typically provides symptom relief for up to 24 hours, making once-daily dosing convenient for ongoing allergy management. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered on the same day, but do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Side Effects

Antial is generally well tolerated, with most patients experiencing few or no side effects at the recommended dose. Some individuals may notice dry mouth, headache, fatigue, or mild dizziness. Less commonly, drowsiness can still occur in certain individuals despite Loratadine’s non-sedating classification. Rare but more serious effects such as irregular heartbeat, significant allergic reactions, or liver-related symptoms should be reported to a doctor promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Loratadine is generally considered among the antihistamines that may be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when advised by a doctor, though it should still only be taken under medical guidance rather than self-prescribed. Anyone pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should confirm suitability with their physician before starting this medicine.

Storage Instructions

Store Antial tablets between 15°C and 30°C, away from heat, light, humidity, and freezing temperatures. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until needed, and store them safely out of children’s reach. Do not use tablets beyond their expiry date.
