Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Claritin (loratadine) is a drug that belongs to the family of anti histamines, mainly used in the treatment of allergies. It is associated with cardiac side effects like tachycardia (rapid heart rate) and other disturbances in the heart rhythm. It is not, however, known to precipitate shortness of breath. As such this is most likely due to anxiety especially if you know you have that.
