What the doctor says in the prescription is what really matters, because every case is different. My son was taking loratadine a couple of years ago and they gave him a dose in the morning only, but the doctor was pretty clear about that at the appointment.
If the prescription says one thing, that's what you have to follow to the letter, even if it seems right or wrong to you.
The only thing you can do if you have doubts is call the pharmacy or go back to the pediatrician to confirm.
Loratadine is generally taken once a day, but that depends on your son's age and the specific dose the doctor prescribed.
How old is he? The best thing is to follow exactly what the prescription or medicine bottle says, because that's where the correct dose for his weight and age is. If you have any doubts, call the pharmacy or check again with the doctor, it's better to be sure about these things.

He's 8 years old, the prescription says once a day in the morning.
I would follow exactly what the prescription the doctor gave you says, because the dose can vary depending on your son's age and weight. The normal thing is once a day, but some cases need more, so the best thing is not to improvise and follow the medical instructions to the letter. If you have any doubts after reading the prescription, you can call the pharmacy or the pediatrician's office to confirm it for you, they're used to these kinds of questions anyway.
