What Aerius is
Aerius contains desloratadine which is an antihistamine.

How Aerius works
Aerius is an antiallergy medicine that does not make you drowsy. It helps control your allergic reaction and its symptoms.

When Aerius should be used
Aerius relieves symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergy, for example, hay fever or allergy to dust mites) in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older. These symptoms include sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy palate, and itchy, red or watery eyes.

Aerius is also used to relieve the symptoms associated with urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy). These symptoms include itching and hives.

Relief of these symptoms lasts a full day and helps you to resume your normal daily activities and sleep.

Do not take Aerius

• if you are allergic to desloratadine, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) or to loratadine.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before taking Aerius:

• if you have poor kidney function.
• if you have medical or familial history of seizures.

Children and adolescents
Do not give this medicine to children less than 12 years of age.

Other medicines and Aerius
There are no known interactions of Aerius with other medicines.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

Aerius with food, drink and alcohol
Aerius may be taken with or without a meal.
Use caution when taking Aerius with alcohol.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Taking Aerius is not recommended if you are pregnant or nursing a baby.
There is no data available on male/female fertility.

Driving and using machines
At the recommended dose, this medicine is not expected to affect your ability to drive or use machines. Although most people do not experience drowsiness, it is recommended not to engage in activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving a car or operating machinery until you have established your own response to the medicine.

Aerius tablet contains lactose
If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Use in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and over
The recommended dose is one tablet once a day with water, with or without food.

This medicine is for oral use.
Swallow the tablet whole.

Regarding the duration of treatment, your physician will determine the type of allergic rhinitis you are suffering from and will determine for how long you should take Aerius. If your allergic rhinitis is intermittent (presence of symptoms for less than 4 days per week or for less than 4 weeks), your physician will recommend you a treatment schedule that will depend on the evaluation of the history of your disease. If your allergic rhinitis is persistent (presence of symptoms for 4 days or more per week and for more than 4 weeks), your physician may recommend you a longer term treatment.

For urticaria, the duration of treatment may be variable from patient to patient and therefore you should follow the instructions of your physician.

If you take more Aerius than you should
Take Aerius only as it is prescribed for you. No serious problems are expected with accidental overdose. However, if you take more Aerius than you were told to, tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse immediately.

If you forget to take Aerius
If you forget to take your dose on time, take it as soon as possible and then go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

If you stop taking Aerius
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
