Committee Recommendations (1)

02 Apr 25 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

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
