Antial Tablet 10mg contains Loratadine, a non‑sedating antihistamine used to treat allergies, hay fever, and skin reactions. It helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and rashes without causing drowsiness.

Loratadine works by blocking histamine (H1) receptors, a chemical in the body that triggers allergy symptoms. By preventing histamine activity, Antial helps control allergic reactions in the respiratory tract and on the skin. 

Antial is commonly prescribed for seasonal allergic rhinitis, perennial allergies, hives (urticaria), and other hypersensitivity reactions. Its non-drowsy formula makes it suitable for daytime use.
