Properties: Clarinase contains a combination of two drugs, loratadine (an antihistamine) and pseudoephedrine (a decongestant). Antihistamines help reduce allergic symptoms by preventing the action of a substance called histamine. Histamine is produced by the body in response to foreign substances to which the body is allergic. Decongestants cause constriction of blood vessels. This results in the clearing of the stuffy nose.
