AERIUS
®
 SYRUP  
Brand of desloratadine 

DESCRIPTION:  Each 1 ml of AERIUS
®
 Syrup contains 0.5 mg of desloratadine. AERIUS
®
 Syrup is a clear, 
orange solution.  Inactive Ingredients:  propylene glycol, sorbitol
liquid, citric acid anhydrous, sodium citrate 
dihydrate, sodium benzoate, disodium edetate, sucrose, natural and
artificial flavor, FD&C Yellow Dye No. 6 
and purified water. Preservative: sodium benzoate 1.00 mg/ml. 

ACTIONS:  Desloratadine is a non-sedating long-acting histamine
antagonist with potent, selective peripheral 
H
1
-receptor antagonist activity. Desloratadine has demonstrated
antiallergic, antihistaminic, and anti-
inflammatory activity. 

In addition to antihistaminic activity, desloratadine
has demonstrated antiallergic and anti-inflammatory activity 
from numerous _in vitro_ (mainly conducted on cells of human origin)
and _in vivo_ studies. These studies have 
shown that desloratadine inhibits the broad cascade of events that
initiate and propagatE allergic inflammation, 
including, 

• 
the release of proinflammatory cytokines including IL-4, IL-6, IL-8,
IL-13,  
• 
the release of important proinflammatory chemokines such as RANTES
(Regulated upon Activation, 
Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted),  
• 
superoxide anion production by activated polymorphonuclear
neutrophils,  
• 
eosinophil adhesion and chemotaxis, 
• 
the expression of the adhesion molecules such as P-selectin, 
• 
IgE-dependent release of histamine, prostaglandin (PGD2), and
leukotriene (LTC4), 
• 
the acute allergic bronchoconstrictor response and allergic cough in
animal models. 

PRECLINICAL TOXICOLOGY: Desloratadine is the primary active metabolite
of loratadine. Non-clinical studies 
conducted with desloratadine and loratadine demonstrated that there
are no qualitative or quantitative 
differences in the toxicity profile of desloratadine and loratadine at
comparable levels of exposure to 
desloratadine. 

No
