Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics.
Desloratadine is a selective blocker of peripheral histamine H1 receptors that does not have a sedative effect. Desloratadine is the primary active metabolite of loratadine. After oral administration, desloratadine selectively blocks peripheral H1-histamine receptors and does not penetrate the BBB.
Numerous studies have shown that, in addition to antihistamine activity, desloratadine has antiallergic and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been established that desloratadine suppresses a cascade of various reactions underlying the development of allergic inflammation. This was manifested by inhibition of the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-4, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-13 from human mast cells/basophils, as well as inhibition of the expression of adhesion molecules such as P-selectin. The clinical significance of these observations remains to be confirmed.
In high-dose studies in which desloratadine was administered daily at doses up to 20 mg for 14 days, no statistically significant changes in cardiovascular effects were detected.
Desloratadine does not penetrate the central nervous system and does not affect psychomotor function.
In patients with allergic rhinitis, desloratadine effectively relieves symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge and itching, as well as eye irritation, tearing and redness, and itching of the palate. The drug effectively controls symptoms for 24 hours.
Pharmacokinetics. The concentration of desloratadine in blood plasma can be determined 30 minutes after administration. Desloratadine is well absorbed, Cmax is achieved in approximately 3 hours; T½ is about 27 hours. The degree of accumulation of desloratadine corresponded to its T½ (about 27 hours) and the frequency of use 1 time per day. The bioavailability of desloratadine was dose proportional in the range of 5–20 mg. Desloratadine is moderately bound to plasma proteins (83–87%). When using a dose of desloratadine (5–20 mg) once a day for 14 days, no signs of clinically significant accumulation of the drug were detected.
Food (high-fat, high-calorie breakfast) or grapefruit juice does not affect the pharmacokinetics of desloratadine.

Pharmacological properties
Pharmacokinetics
The drug is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, maximum plasma concentration is reached after approximately 3 hours. The half-life is approximately 27 hours. Does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, penetrates the placental barrier and into breast milk.
Pharmacodynamics
Eslotin has antihistamine, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory effects and does not cause drowsiness. When taken orally, desloratadine (the primary active metabolite of loratadine) selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1 receptors. Suppresses the cascade of cytostatic reactions: the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, incl. interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-13 (IL-13), pro-inflammatory chemokines like RANTES, production of superoxide anions by activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils, adhesion and chemotaxis of eosinophils, expression of adhesion molecules, incl. P-selectin, IgE-mediated release of histamine, prostaglandin D2 and leukotriene C4.
Indications for use
— seasonal hay fever and year-round allergic rhinitis (elimination or relief of sneezing, mucus from the nose, itching and nasal congestion, itching and redness of the eyes, watery eyes, itching of the palate)
- chronic idiopathic urticaria (reduction or elimination of skin itching and rash).
Directions for use and doses
Eslotin is taken orally, regardless of meals, with a small amount of water.
Children aged 1 to 5 years are prescribed 1.25 mg (2.5 ml of syrup) 1 time per day.
Children aged 6 to 11 years - 2.5 mg (5 ml of syrup) 1 time per day.
Adults and adolescents over 12 years old - 5 mg (10 ml syrup) 1 time per day.
To dose the syrup, use a measuring cup graduated to 15 ml, 10 ml and 5 ml.
The course of treatment and duration of treatment is determined by the nature of the disease. When treating seasonal hay fever, the drug should be discontinued after the symptoms disappear. In the treatment of year-round allergic rhinitis, the drug is used continuously throughout the entire period of patient contact with the allergen.
