Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Although loratadine was not found to be teratogenic in animals, but the safe use of loratadine during pregnancy has not been established and there have been no case reports of any adverse foetal consequences. So it should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus.
Like other H1 receptor antagonists, loratadine is also excreted in breast milk. So lactating mothers are advised not to take the drug.
