Try calling Fanda - they seem to stock everything!
I've found this stuff in random pharmacies. No idea what it costs, it's fairly trivial.
"Loratadine is marketed by Schering-Plough under several trade names (e.g., Claritin) and also by Shionogi in Japan. It is available as a generic drug and is marketed for its non-sedating properties. In a version named Claritin-D or Clarinase, it is combined with pseudoephedrine, a decongestant; this makes it useful for colds as well as allergies but adds potential side-effects of insomnia, anxiety, and nervousness."
I have seen Claritin even in places like Mannings and Watsons.
Nice backhanded comment about Mannings and Watsons
You can buy it from ebay.com cheap. or try some of the Mong Kok's or Wan Chai's Pharmacy
I think in HK, they usually sell it with the brand "Allertyn"
I buy the generic one in Fanda, 10 tablets for abt. $25. Name brand just a little bit more expensive than that.
FYI, generic Cetirizine 10mg (not sure which brand name it goes by, since I never buy it--Zyrtec?) is HK$250 for 100 @ Fanda Central.
Claratyne = loratadine & can be found quite easily in chemist
