Pharmacodynamics

Tablets from dermatitis Loratadin perform antipruritic, antiallergic antiexudative function. Pharmacodynamics of the drug is as follows: it inhibits the release of mast cells from histamine, as well as leukotriene C4. Selectively blocks the receptors of H1-histamine, and also prevents histamine from affecting the vessels and smooth muscles, reduces the level of capillary permeability, reduces exudation, erythema and pruritus. Antiallergic effect begins after half an hour after taking the pill, maximum activity reaches 8-12 hours, and the whole lasts for 24 hours. The drug has no effect on the central nervous system, has no sedative and anticholinergic function.

Allertec tablets are an anti-allergic antihistamine drug. They include cetirizine, which is included in the group of antagonists of histamine competitors - it blocks the receptors of H1-histamine, and has almost no antiserotonin and anticholinergic effects. It is able to perform anti-allergic, antiexudative and antipruritic function. Cetirizine also affects the first stage of the allergy, which depends on histamines, reduces the spread of inflammatory cells, inhibits the process of excretion of mediators, which appear even with a late allergic reaction. The drug makes the permeability of capillaries smaller, removes spasms that arise in the smooth muscles, prevents the appearance of swelling in the tissues. Therapeutic doses do not have a sedative effect on the body. The drug begins to function after 20 minutes (half of patients) or after 1 hour (in 95% of patients). The effect of the effect persists for 24 hours. 

Pharmacokinetics

The drug Loratadin is completely and quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, reaches Tmax for 1.3-2.5 hours, while eating this process can be slowed down for another hour. In elderly people, Сmах becomes higher by 50%. Absorption of the medication is 40% faster if consumed with food; the active metabolite is also increased by 15%. The connection with plasma proteins is 97%. Css loratadine, as well as a metabolite in plasma occurs on the 5th day after the administration of the drug. The drug does not pass through the blood-brain barrier.

Absorption index is not affected at all by the fact of taking the drug with food, although its speed decreases slightly - the maximum concentration is reached for 1 hour longer. Tablets are metabolized in small amounts, forming a pharmacologically inactive metabolite. This they differ from other blockers of H1-histamine receptors, which are metabolized in the liver. The drug (60%) is excreted through the kidneys unchanged after 96 hours. Another 10% goes through the intestines.

The drug Allertec has the following pharmacokinetics. Quickly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, reaching a maximum concentration after half an hour / hour.

Use of dermatitis tablets during pregnancy

Women of childbearing age should be warned about the potential risk to their fetus, as corticosteroids are able to pass through the placenta. For newborns, whose mothers took corticosteroids during pregnancy, careful observation is necessary, because there is a risk of development of adrenal insufficiency in a fetus and a newborn baby.

Medicines can not be taken for a long time and in a large dosage. Women who are breastfeeding are advised not to take the drug (especially if large doses are prescribed), or to stop breastfeeding.

For a newborn this can have extremely negative consequences.
