Committee Recommendations (1)
Desloratadine and levocetirizine are not recommended 1st line as there is little evidence that they confer any additional benefit over the more established non-sedating antihistamines and are more costly - see local guidelines below
Cetirizine or loratadine are the 1st line non-sedating antihistamines
Desloratadine liquid is non-formulary
