Wal-Itin is used to treat symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), perennial allergic rhinitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). It helps relieve sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, and skin itching or hives.
Wal-Itin contains loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine H1 receptors. By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, it reduces allergic symptoms without significantly crossing the blood-brain barrier, which helps minimize drowsiness.
Wal-Itin is typically taken once daily. While it is designed to be non-drowsy, individual reactions may vary. Patients with liver or kidney disease should consult a healthcare provider before use. As with all medications, follow dosing instructions and inform your doctor of any other medications or medical conditions.
