Hi,
Already you use Fexofenadine 180 mg ( histamine 1 blocker) why you again take softin (Loratadine) also histamine 1 blocker. Tab Ranitidine (Zantac) is a histamine 2 receptor blocker. Both fexofenadine and Ranitidine have synergistic effects on urticaria.
Respond to treatment may take 4 to 6 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
