Lactose-free non-hygroscopic anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions of descarboethoxyloratadine

摘要

Stable pharmaceutical compositions of descarboethoxyloratadine (DCL), a metabolic derivative of loratadine, for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and other histamine-induced disorders are disclosed. The compositions are formulated to avoid the incompatibility between DCL and reactive excipients such as lactose and other mono- and di-saccharides. Disclosed compositions include lactose-free, non-hygroscopic and anhydrous stable pharmaceutical compositions of DCL.
