Destina

Introduction
Destina 5mg is an antihistamine medicine that contains Desloratadine. In Pakistan, doctors prescribe it to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching. It is also useful in treating hives, where redness and irritation affect the skin. Patients often prefer it because it usually does not cause drowsiness like older antihistamines.

Composition
Each tablet of Destina contains Desloratadine 5mg, a non-sedating antihistamine.

Medical Use
Doctors in Pakistan commonly use Destina 5mg for:

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever)

• Perennial allergic rhinitis (year-round nasal allergies)

• Chronic urticaria (hives with itching and redness)

• Other allergy-related skin or nasal conditions

How to Take
The tablet is taken orally, usually once a day. It can be taken with or without food. The dose depends on age, symptoms, and medical advice. Children, adults, and elderly patients may require different dosing, so self-medication should be avoided.

• Inform your physician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have kidney or liver problems.

• Do not take more than the prescribed dose.

• Store tablets in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and children.
