Safety of Desloratadine in Children With Allergy Sensitivity and Chronic Hives, Who Are Poor Metabolizers of Desloratadine (Study P02994)
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.
