What Softin is

Softin (loratadine 10 mg) is an antihistamine used for hay fever and year-round nasal allergy and for long-lasting hives, according to the UK product information for Clarityn Allergy 10mg Tablets (Bayer). No Pakistani document we could find states its condition of sale, and we sell it without a prescription.

  • Registered with DRAP under number 012026. (DRAP registry entry).
  • Werrick Pharmaceuticals, Islamabad, holds the registration: DRAP’s own letters about Softin on the registration record are addressed to it.
  • DRAP notifies a maximum price for Softin Tablets: Rs 109.69 for 10 tablets and Rs 315.89 for 30 (DRAP price index, 17 August 2026).
  • We could not find a leaflet from Werrick online, so the clinical facts on this page come from the UK and US labels for loratadine 10 mg, each named where it is used.
  • Before you order, check the liver, pregnancy and breastfeeding cautions below.

What is in each tablet

One active ingredient, from the label claim in DRAP’s registry: “Each film coated tablet contains: Loratadine...................10mg”.

What it is used for

Allergy symptoms. The UK and US labels word the uses differently.

Uses of loratadine 10 mg tablets, by label
LabelUses
UK, Clarityn Allergy (Bayer)“the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria”: nose allergy such as hay fever, and long-lasting hives with no known cause.
US, Claritin (Bayer)Temporary relief of hay fever and other upper respiratory allergy symptoms: runny nose; itchy, watery eyes; sneezing; itching of the nose or throat.

Neither label lists sore throat, a throat infection, cough or flu as a use: the throat symptom the US label names is itching caused by allergy.

How to take it

Once a day, with or without food, according to the UK product information for Clarityn Allergy 10mg Tablets (Bayer).

  • When it starts working: the UK label says its antihistamine effect is seen within 1 to 3 hours, peaks at 8 to 12 hours and lasts more than 24 hours.
  • Children: the UK label gives the tablets from 6 years of age and over 30 kg body weight, and says other forms suit younger or lighter children. The US label says to ask a doctor for children under 6.
  • Do not take more than directed: the US Drug Facts label for Claritin 10 mg tablets (Bayer) says taking more than directed may cause drowsiness.

Who should not take it, or should ask a doctor first

From the UK product information for Clarityn Allergy 10mg Tablets (Bayer) unless the US label is named.

  • Must not take it: anyone allergic to loratadine or to any ingredient.
  • Severe liver disease: the UK label says to use it with caution and sets a lower starting dose, so take it only as a doctor directs.
  • Liver or kidney disease: the US label says to ask a doctor before use, who should decide whether a different dose is needed. The UK label says no dose change is needed for kidney problems.
  • Lactose: the UK tablets contain lactose, and the UK label says people with rare hereditary galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take them. We haven’t seen Softin’s ingredient list, so ask our pharmacist if this applies to you.

Other medicines, alcohol and allergy tests

From the UK product information for Clarityn Allergy 10mg Tablets (Bayer), section 4.5 unless another is named.

Medicine or otherWhat happensSource

AlcoholWhat happens: In tests of mental and physical performance, loratadine did not add to alcohol’s effects.Source: UK, 4.5
Allergy skin testsWhat happens: Antihistamines can mask a positive result: the label says to stop loratadine at least 48 hours before skin tests. Tell the clinic you take it.Source: UK, 4.4
FoodWhat happens: The tablet may be taken without regard to mealtime.Source: UK, 4.2

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

The UK label advises avoiding it in pregnancy as a precaution and does not recommend it when breastfeeding.

PregnancyUK: data from more than 1,000 pregnancies show no malformations or harm to the baby, but as a precaution it is preferable to avoid it during pregnancy. US: ask a health professional before use.
BreastfeedingUK: loratadine passes into breast milk, so it is not recommended. US: ask a health professional before use.

Frequently asked questions

What is Softin Tablet 10mg used for?

Softin contains loratadine, an antihistamine.

The US label lists runny nose, sneezing, itchy watery eyes and itching of the nose or throat due to hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies.

Is Softin used for throat problems?

Only for throat itching caused by an allergy: the US label lists itching of the nose or throat among hay fever symptoms. None of the labels we read lists sore throat or a throat infection as a use. For a sore throat with fever, or one that lasts, see a doctor.

Does Softin make you sleepy?

Not usually. In trials, sleepiness was reported in 1.2% more people on loratadine than on placebo, according to the UK label, which also says very rarely some people feel drowsy enough to affect driving. The US label says taking more than directed may cause drowsiness.

How long does Softin 10 mg tab take to work?

The UK label for loratadine says its antihistamine effect is seen within 1 to 3 hours, peaks at 8 to 12 hours and lasts more than 24 hours. The labels give it once a day.

Do you need a prescription to buy Softin Tablet 10mg?

We sell it without a prescription. No Pakistani document we could find states its condition of sale: we found no Werrick leaflet online, and DRAP’s registry record has no such field. In the UK the same medicine is sold without a prescription, and in the US it is sold over the counter.

Is Softin syrup the same as Softin tablets?

It contains the same medicine, loratadine, at 5 mg in each 5 ml, according to DRAP’s registry. For a child, ask a doctor which form and how much to give. This page sells the tablets, not the syrup.

DRAP publishes no definition of this verification flag, so we can’t tell you what it means. We searched DRAP’s website for “Softin”, “Werrick” and “loratadine” on 22 October 2026 and found no alert naming Softin or Werrick; the loratadine results were recall alerts for other companies’ products. When we tested it, the search did not find a word that appears only inside an alert’s attached PDF, so an alert that names a product only in its PDF may not show up. DRAP describes its registered products index as a provisional list that “cannot be used as a reference for any purpose”. Checked against the registry on .
