Dandruff is maultifaceted and not all treatments work on an individual
It could be dry scalp dandruff or seborrhoea it could also be sebopsoriasis of scalp
All need different approaches
Seems like you are trying to treat it yourself
Desloratidine is not for dandruff
Shampoos are not permanent solution they are on and off
Depending upon your condition and type of dandruff the treatment varies it may include topical steroids. Ketololytics exfoliator and other modalities.
Please
Visit your local dermatologist or you may set a teleconsult with me . I will be more than happy to look into it further evaluate and recommend treatment for you
God bless
