Loract Tablet contains Loratadine (10mg), a second-generation, non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergies. It effectively treats conditions such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), and other allergic skin reactions by blocking the action of histamine — a substance that causes allergic symptoms.
