    Loratadine is an antihistamine for cats... have you given this to your cat without knowing a correct dosage?
    You will need to consult your vet before giving any medicine to your cat as incorrect dosage of any medicine can be fatal.

    I don't understand your statement. Would you care to explain why you are asking this?? Loratadine is Claritin, an over the counter allergy medication. Did your cat ingest it ?
