The 息斯敏 sold in China today is loratadine, equivalent to US OTC Claritin. The ORIGINAL 息斯敏 was astemizole (US brand Hismanal), which was withdrawn from the US market in 1999 for QT prolongation/torsades risk. Anyone with legacy astemizole should switch to a modern antihistamine (loratadine/cetirizine); the current product already is loratadine.
