Question

Answer
Melissa

I think this is the product you are describing:

If so, it is a generic version of Loratine 10mg, a non-sedating antihistamine.

It can safely be disposed of through normal waste / sewage systems.

I hope this helps.

Expertise

I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised. Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner. I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question. Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?
