Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Selective inverse agonist of peripheral histamine H1 receptors, inhibiting histamine release from mast cells and basophils.
Competitive antagonist of histamine H1 receptors; inhibits histamine-mediated vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, and bronchoconstriction in allergic reactions.
10 mg orally once daily
2.5 mg orally every 4-6 hours as needed; maximum 10 mg per 24 hours.

Terminal elimination half-life of loratadine is 8.4 hours (range 3–20 hours); for its active metabolite descarboethoxyloratadine, it is 24.9 hours (range 8.8–45 hours). Clinical context: Steady-state concentrations are achieved by day 5.
Terminal elimination half-life approximately 3–4 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 12 hours).
Primarily renal (approximately 40% as metabolites, <1% as unchanged drug) and fecal (approximately 40% as metabolites).
Renal (primarily as metabolites; ~70% recovered in urine within 24 hours, <5% unchanged). Fecal elimination is minor.
