Annetabs
Annetabs, also known as Annettabs, is a brand of over-the-counter medications primarily used to treat symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. The brand is owned by the pharmaceutical company Sanofi, which acquired the rights to the Annettabs formula in 2016. Annettabs are available in various forms, including tablets, chewable tablets, and liquid suspensions, and are typically taken orally. The active ingredient in Annettabs is loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine in the body, thereby reducing allergic symptoms. Annettabs are generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, they can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions and liver problems. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging or by a healthcare professional and to consult a doctor before use, especially if pregnant or breastfeeding, or if taking other medications. Annettabs are not intended for use in children under the age of 12 without medical supervision.
