Clarityn v. Loratidine
By Harvey Partridge
The generic drug Loratidine and the proprietary drug Clarityn are prescribed in France, and available over the counter or prescribed in UK. The active ingredient in both cases is an antihistamine which is used principally to reduce the suffering of hay fever. Because of budget constraints, your GP will tell you that they are both the same. Both contain the active ingredient Loratidine. This is not the whole story, however. I am neither doctor nor pharmacist, and of course have not conducted clinical trials myself, but I know of at least one person that gets absolutely no benefit from generic Loratidine for her nearly perennial (almost the whole year) allergic rhinitis - hay fever. It is very difficult for her to convince a French GP with a tight budget that she must have Clarityn. In fact she sometimes gets it over the counter at a pharmacy in England rather than battle with the Doctor.
