Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Macrolide antibiotics may increase the plasma concentrations of loratadine through inhibition of CYP450 3A4 or 2D6 enzymes. 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.
