Doctor’s Review
Dr. Ayesha Khan, MD – Allergy & Immunology:
“Delergic (Desloratadine) is a safe and effective second-generation antihistamine for most patients suffering from seasonal allergies, urticaria, or mild chronic allergic reactions. I recommend it for patients who need daily relief without the drowsiness commonly associated with older antihistamines. It is well-tolerated and has a low risk of side effects. Always ensure patients follow the prescribed dosage, especially in children and patients with liver or kidney concerns.”
