Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Out of the drugs which you have mentioned Loratadine is known to cause hips and butt and lower back area to ache.
It is a side effect.
But more importantly it can be due to your age related osteoporosis.
I will advise you to get your drug prescriptions reviewed and also get a osteoporosis scan if possible and follow up with me with the reports.
Feel free to consult me directly
