Loratadine levels may increase by 40% when coadministered with erythromycin. Clinical monitoring of patient response and tolerance is recommended when macrolides are administered with non-sedating antihistamines. Azithromycin and dirithromycin are not expected to affect loratadine levels and may be considered as alternatives.
