Somnolence, tachycardia and headache have been reported with overdoses. A single acute Ingestion of 160 mg produced no adverse effects. In the event of overdosage, treatment, which should be started immediately, is symptomatic and supportive.
Treatment: The patient should be induced to vomit, even if emesis has occurred spontaneously. Pharmacologically-induced vomiting by the administration of ipecac syrup is a preferred method. However, vomiting should not be induced in patients with impaired consciousness. The action of ipecac is facilitated by physical activity and by the administration of 240 to 360 ml of water. If emesis dose not occur within 15 minutes, the dose of ipecac should be repeated. Precautions against aspiration must be token, especially in children. Following emesis, adsorption of any drugs remaining in the stomach may be attempted by the administration of activated charcoal as a slurry with water. If vomiting is unsuccessful, or contraindicated, gastric lavage should be performed. Physiologic saline solution is the lavage solution of choice, particularly in children. In adults, tap water can be used; however, as much as possible of the amount administered should be removed before the nest instillation. Saline cathartics draw water into the bowel by osmosis and therefore may be valuable for their action in rapid dilution of bowel content.

Most commonly reported side effects include fatigue, headache, somnolence, dry mouth, gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea, gastritis and also allergic symptoms like rash.
Loratadine has no potentiating effects of alcohol as measured by psychomotor performance studies. Increase in plasma concentrations of loratadine have been reported after concomitant use with ketoconazole, erythromycin or cimetidine in controlled clinical trials, but without clinically significant changes (including electrocardiographic). Other drugs known to inhibit hepatic metabolism should be coadministered with caution until definitive interaction studies can be completed.
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions: Products should be discontinued approximately 48 hours prior to skin testing procedures since antihistamines may prevent or diminish otherwise positive reactions to dermal reactivity indicators.
