What is Clarityn used for?

Clarityn is a non-drowsy antihistamine that is used to prevent and relieve the symptoms of hay fever, such as:

• Runny or itchy nose
• Watery or itchy eyes
• Sneezing

It can also be used to treat urticaria, which causes redness and itching of the skin. This is sometimes referred to as hives, wheals, welts or nettle rash.

If you are unsure whether Clarityn would be effective for you, speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist.

How Do I Take Clarityn?

Clarityn can be taken after being exposed to an allergen, or on a regular basis to prevent symptoms from occurring.

You should take 1 tablet daily to prevent allergy symptoms.

Aim to take the tablet at the same time every day. Setting a reminder on your phone may help you.

Swallow Clarityn tablets whole with a glass of water.

If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet whole, you can split the tablet along the score line to make it easier to swallow.

Do not crush or chew Clarityn tablets.

What should I do if I forget to take Clarityn when I should?

If you forget to take Clarityn when you should, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take it at the next usual time.

Do not take more Clarityn to make up for the missed dose.

What should I do if I take more Clarityn than I should?

If you accidentally take more Clarityn than you should, speak to your doctor as soon as possible.

Taking more Clarityn than you should is unlikely to relieve your symptoms any faster, but may increase your risk of side effects.

Never take more tablets unless your doctor has told you that it is safe to do so.
