Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have a head cold and was perscribed loratadine 5mg and pseudo ephedrine 120mg tablets. As I cannot have anything in my system for work, how long prior to work should I stop taking these tablets for me to pass a swab and urine test. I am a 30 year old male.
Hello Loratadine is another long acting selective peripheral H1 antagonist which has a longer t1/2 of 17 hours . In that sense it will pass in urine for 72 hours after metabolism. So stop at least 3-4 days prior to testing . Good luck.
