Belfast Tablet

Key Ingredient:
Desloratadine 5 mg

Belfast Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antihistamines’ used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is characterized by a runny nose, sneezing, red, watery, itchy and swollen eyes occurring due to exposure to allergens. Urticaria (hives) is an itchy skin reaction due to triggers such as food, drugs or other irritation and may be auto immune also (a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body).

Belfast Tablet contains desloratadine which acts as an antihistamine. It blocks the action of histamines (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reduces the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms. Unlike other antihistamine drugs, it doesn’t cause drowsiness.

Take the dose of Belfast tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Tablet should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water, and you should not crush, chew or break it. This medicine may cause side-effects such as fatigue (lack of energy), dry mouth and headache. In general, these side-effects usually go away without treatment. However, if these persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately.

Do not use Belfast Tablet if you are allergic to ‘desloratadine’ or any other contents present in it. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are taking any prescription or non-prescription medicines. Inform your doctor if you are previously diagnosed with seizures (fits) and liver or kidney failure. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant and breastfeeding.
