Xylor Tablet: Uses, Dosage & Side Effects in Pakistan

Xylor Tablet Uses, Dosage, Side Effects & Price in Pakistan

1. Quick Info (Mukhtasir Maloomat)

2. What is Xylor Tablet? (Xylor Tablet kya hai)

Xylor Tablet contains loratadine, a second-generation oral antihistamine made in Pakistan by ATCO Laboratories. During an allergic reaction, the body releases histamine, which causes sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, watery eyes and itchy hives. Loratadine blocks histamine at its H1 receptors, which relieves these symptoms without curing the underlying allergy. The tablet is used by adults and by children aged 6 and over who weigh more than 30 kg. Compared with older antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine, loratadine enters the brain much less, so it is less likely to cause drowsiness. This makes it a suitable option for people who need to stay alert and active during the day. Always take Xylor Tablet as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
