Final answer:

Loratadine (Claritin) is a nonsedating antihistamine (H1 blocker).


Explanation:

Loratadine (Claritin) is classified as a nonsedating antihistamine (H1 blocker). Nonsedating antihistamines, such as Loratadine, work by selectively blocking the H1 receptor without crossing the blood-brain barrier, hence causing less sedation compared to older antihistamines like Diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
