Side Effects of Desloratadine (Cont.)

Rare Desloratadine Side Effects

During clinical studies, a number of other side effects occurred in less than 2 percent of people while they were taking desloratadine. It is difficult to tell whether these side effects occurred because of desloratadine or because of something else.
 
Some of these possible rare side effects of desloratadine include but are not limited to:
 
  • Serious allergic reaction
  • Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)
  • Heart palpitations
  • Increased liver enzymes.

 

Final Thoughts on Desloratadine Side Effects

You may experience some or none of these side effects of desloratadine. There is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects. Also, let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
