How Does It Work?

Desloratadine works by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators from human mast cells and basophils. It competes with free histamine for binding at H1-receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and bronchial smooth muscle, which blocks endogenous histamine, which subsequently leads to temporary relief of the negative symptoms such as nasal congestion.
