About Product
Alaspan 10mg Tablet by Bayer Pharmaceuticals is a second-generation, non-sedating oral antihistamine formulated to provide targeted relief from histamine-mediated allergic reactions in companion animals. It addresses a broad spectrum of allergy presentations, including seasonal environmental allergies, allergic skin disease, insect bite and sting reactions, urticaria (hives), and mild to moderate allergic rhinitis, by selectively blocking the peripheral histamine H1 receptor without the marked central nervous system sedation associated with older, first-generation antihistamines. Used under veterinary guidance in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats, Alaspan 10mg offers a low-sedation, once-daily antihistamine option that can form part of a broader allergy management protocol for your companion animal. Animeal is proud to offer Alaspan 10mg Tablet as part of its curated range of veterinary-applicable pharmaceutical solutions, supporting informed, compassionate allergy care for your canine or feline companion.
Ingredients:
Loratadine (Loratadinum), 10mg per tablet: Loratadine is a second-generation, long-acting tricyclic antihistamine of the piperidine class that exerts its therapeutic effect by competitively and selectively antagonising peripheral histamine H1 receptors. Unlike first-generation antihistamines such as diphenhydramine, loratadine has a low affinity for crossing the blood-brain barrier due to its lipophobic molecular structure and P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux at the blood-brain barrier, which significantly reduces central nervous system penetration and the sedation and anticholinergic effects associated with older agents. At the cellular level, loratadine binds to H1 receptors on mast cells, basophils, vascular endothelium, and sensory nerve endings, preventing histamine from initiating the downstream signalling cascade that produces vasodilation, increased capillary permeability, tissue oedema, pruritus, and smooth muscle contraction. By occupying the H1 receptor before or during histamine release, loratadine intercepts the early-phase allergic response and attenuates the severity of the inflammatory chain, reducing the clinical manifestations of allergic reactions including itching, erythema, urticaria, sneezing, and ocular and nasal discharge. Its extended plasma half-life, along with that of its active metabolite descarboethoxyloratadine, supports sustained H1 receptor occupancy across a once-daily dosing interval, making it particularly effective as a long-term preventive agent rather than purely an acute rescue medication.
Features and Benefits
Low-Sedation Allergy Relief for Everyday Comfor...
Low-Sedation Allergy Relief for Everyday Comfort:
Unlike older antihistamines, Alaspan 10mg's selective peripheral H1 receptor blockade means your companion animal can experience meaningful allergy relief without the drowsiness, disorientation, and reduced alertness that characterise first-generation agents. This makes it a well-tolerated option for daily, ongoing use in pets with chronic or seasonal allergic conditions, supporting normal activity levels and quality of life throughout the treatment period.
Broad-Spectrum Histamine Control Across Allergy Types:
Alaspan 10mg targets the common histamine-driven pathway underlying a wide variety of allergic presentations, including environmental allergies triggered by pollen, dust mites, and mould spores, insect bite and sting reactions, urticaria, and food-related allergic skin responses. This versatility means your canine or feline companion can benefit from the same clinically trusted molecule across different allergy triggers, simplifying their allergy management under veterinary guidance.
Preventive Flare Reduction with Long-Acting Coverage:
Loratadine and its active metabolite descarboethoxyloratadine maintain sustained H1 receptor blockade across an extended dosing window, making Alaspan 10mg most effective when used consistently over time rather than as a single acute dose. Long-term daily use reinforces a preventive barrier against allergic flare-ups, progressively reducing the frequency and intensity of allergic episodes in pets with recurrent seasonal or environmental sensitivities.
Support for Mast Cell-Related Histamine Excess:
Preliminary evidence suggests that loratadine's capacity to block H1 receptors may also help manage histamine-mediated inflammatory symptoms in animals with mast cell tumours, where cancerous mast cells release elevated circulating levels of histamine. While this application requires direct veterinary oversight and is not a replacement for primary oncological management, Alaspan 10mg may serve as a valuable adjunctive component in your companion's multifaceted treatment plan under specialist guidance.
Antihistamine Trial Suitability Across Species:
Loratadine belongs to the piperidine class of antihistamines, a distinct pharmacological family from the ethanolamine and phenothiazine classes, meaning it offers a clinically differentiated option when antihistamines from other classes have not delivered adequate relief for your companion animal. Veterinary dermatologists frequently incorporate loratadine into sequential antihistamine trials for allergic skin disease in both dogs and cats, recognising its particular utility in feline patients where antihistamines in general demonstrate stronger efficacy relative to dogs.
Usage and Applications

How to Use:
Alaspan 10mg Tablet must be used only under the direction and prescription of a qualified veterinarian, who will determine the appropriate dose based on your companion animal's species, body weight, specific allergic condition, and response to therapy. The tablet should be administered orally and may be given with or without food; consistency in the timing of daily administration is recommended to maintain stable plasma concentrations and optimise the preventive effect of the medication. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed, broken, or dissolved in liquid unless specifically instructed by your veterinarian. It is important to note that human loratadine combination formulations, particularly those containing pseudoephedrine (sold as Claritin-D and similar variants), must never be used in pets, as pseudoephedrine is toxic to companion animals; only plain loratadine formulations such as Alaspan 10mg are appropriate for veterinary use. Similarly, loratadine syrup formulations preserved in propylene glycol must not be administered to cats. Do not discontinue or adjust the dose without consulting your veterinarian, and inform them of all other medications your companion is currently receiving to avoid potential interactions with agents such as ketoconazole, erythromycin, or cimetidine, which may elevate plasma loratadine concentrations.
Storage Advice:
Store unopened Alaspan 10mg Tablet in a cool, dry place below 25 degrees C away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, keep the strip in its original blister packaging and reseal after each use to protect the remaining tablets from moisture and humidity. Keep out of reach of children and pets at all times. Do not use after the best-before date printed on the blister strip or carton.

Disclaimer:
Please note that while Alaspan 10mg Tablet is formulated from loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine, and may be used in dogs and cats under veterinary prescription as a complementary antihistamine therapy, it is not an approved veterinary pharmaceutical and its use in animals is considered off-label; it must therefore be administered only under the explicit guidance of a qualified veterinarian. Alaspan 10mg is a complementary therapeutic aid and is not a replacement for prescribed primary allergy therapy, veterinary allergy testing, or specialist dermatological management in animals with moderate to severe allergic skin disease. For pets with liver disease, dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), known hypersensitivity to loratadine or any excipient, concurrent use of interacting medications, or those who are pregnant or lactating, consult your veterinarian before introducing this product. Animeal supports your pet's health and happiness journey but does not replace the advice of a qualified veterinary professional.
