Product Overview
Lorfast Meltab is a fast-acting allergy relief medication containing Loratadine, a non-sedating antihistamine effective against various allergic conditions. This orally disintegrating tablet dissolves rapidly on the tongue without requiring water, offering convenient symptom management for active individuals. It effectively controls allergic reactions to pollen, dust, pet dander, and other environmental triggers, addressing symptoms like sneezing, itching, nasal discharge, and watery eyes.
