What special precautions should I follow?
Breast-feeding¡XSmall amounts of antihistamines pass into the breast milk. Use is not recommended since babies are more susceptible to the side effects of antihistamines, such as unusual excitement or
irritability. Also, since these medicines tend to decrease the secretions of the body, it is possible that the flow of breast milk may be reduced in some patients. It is not known yet whether cetirizi
ne, desloratadine, or loratadine cause these same side effects.
