Which is better, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets or loratadine

Cetirizine hydrochloride tablets and loratadine both have anti-allergic effects and are commonly used in the treatment of allergic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, urticaria, etc. Both have certain adverse effects. Both of them have certain adverse effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, fatigue, nausea, etc. Since different patients have different tolerances and sensitivities, there may be individual differences in the adverse effects of the two drugs.
