Description

Xylor 10mg is an antihistamine medicine manufactured by ATCO Laboratories, formulated with Loratadine, a second-generation, non-drowsy antihistamine. It works by blocking histamine, a natural substance the body releases during an allergic reaction, providing relief from common allergy symptoms without the significant sedation associated with older antihistamines.

Ingredients

Each tablet of Xylor contains:

• Loratadine – 10mg (a second-generation antihistamine)

Dosage Form

Xylor 10mg is available as oral tablets, packed 20 tablets per strip/box.

Uses

Xylor 10mg is commonly used for:

• Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and year-round), including sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes
• Chronic urticaria (hives) and associated itching
• Skin allergies and allergic skin reactions
• General relief from allergy symptoms triggered by pollen, dust, or pet dander

How to Use

Xylor should be taken as directed by a physician or as per the product label, typically once daily, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken at any time of day, but taking it at the same time daily helps maintain consistent symptom control. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and consult your doctor if symptoms persist beyond a few days.

Side Effects

Xylor is generally well tolerated, but some individuals may experience:

• Headache
• Dry mouth
• Fatigue or mild drowsiness (uncommon compared to older antihistamines)
• Nausea
• Dizziness

Seek medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or a severe skin rash.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Xylor should only be used during pregnancy if a doctor considers it necessary, as safety data is limited. Loratadine is known to pass into breast milk in small amounts, so breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid self-medicating with this drug.

Storage Instructions

Store Xylor tablets below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until use, and store them out of reach of children.
