Hi...Lorinase (depending on the country of availability) will contain Loratidine and/or Pseudoephedrine. Both these drugs are not recommended at this age group. But you need not worry as of now. Sometimes Pseudoephedrine can cause increased heart rat3ed and SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia). I suggest you not to use this hereafter unless you get it as prescription drug.
