Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerance of desloratadine after 5 weeks of repetitive dosing in children ages 2 to 12 years old with allergic hypersensitivity or chronic hives. All of the subjects enrolled in this trial were previously identified in an earlier trial to be poor metabolizers of desloratadine.
