 Alavert is the Brand Name (More Expensive) form of Loratadine April 22, 2007
James Koenig (Minnesota)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Alavert (Loratadine) is an antihistamine that is used for typical allergy symptoms, such as a stuffy or runny nose, itchy watery eyes, scratchy throat (due to allergies), and rashes, itching, and hives. (It can also be used in some cases to limit asthma attacks).
Antihistamines block the release of histamine, a naturally occurring substance in the body that produces all the allergy symptoms we want to get rid of.
There are several antihistamines you can purchase over the counter, Alavert (Loratadine) is a second generation antihistamine, and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is the older first generation product. Alavert will be more expensive, as it is the newer of the two. Loratadine is also available as a cheaper generic product and is just as effective as the Brand name products of Claritin and Alavert.
The usual dose of Loratadine is 10 mg a day. This offers an advantage over the first generation antihistamines (Benadryl), in that they are dosed every 8 hours. The main and most significant advantage of Loratadine over the first generation antihistamines is that Loratadine will not cause drowsiness and has less overall side effects and less adverse interactions with other medications (and alcohol).
People with liver disease should discuss the use of Loratadine with their doctor. Pregnant women should avoid using Loratadine as studies have shown a risk to the fetus.
Alavert (Loratadine) is very effective in treating allergy symptoms. I like the non-sedating quality and the once daily dosing, but check out the less expensive generic Loratadine first!

 Awesome! August 31, 2006

Yep, this stuff works because it has the same ingredients as Claritin, just at a lower dosage, it worked for me within the first few minutes, clearing up my stuffy nose and watery eyes. At half the price of Claritin this stuff is great :)
Best allergy medicine ever April 4, 2006
A. Mitchell (Atlanta, GA United States)
This is the best allergy medicine I have ever had in my life. The tablet dissolves in your mouth and works almost immediately and for me the effect is longer than 24 hours. Depending on the pollen index, I can go for up to 72 hours with no symptoms!!! And it is non-drowsy!!!! I highly recommend this to allergy / hayfever sufferers. It's great!
