Does Claritin Cause Drowsiness In Children?
Does Claritin for children make a child sleep?. It does not say specifically on the bottle. My child is five years old and he woke up with a snuffy nose and allergies. I wanted to give a dose before school but I did not know if he would become drowsy.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Loratadine is a good choice for allergies symptoms relief.
Loratadine(Claritin) is classed as a non-drowsy antihistamine, however sometimes it can still cause drowsiness.
You can give loratadine to your child once daily before bed time.
