Composition

Cetirizine (5 Mg)

Alerid Syrup is primarily used to manage allergy symptoms in children. This medicine falls into the category of antihistamines. It's particularly effective for alleviating problems like runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, and skin rashes caused by allergies.

The medicine also provides relief from symptoms of perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis and manages allergies caused by dust, pollen, pet dander, and moulds.

This syrup is safe for use in children above 2 years of age and can be given to younger kids under medical supervision. Inform the doctor about any pre-existing conditions your child may have or any other medications they are currently taking. If you notice any unusual side effects while your child is on this medication, notify the doctor immediately. Continue giving the syrup to your child for the period recommended by the doctor for optimum results.

Alerid Syrup can help manage the following conditions:

Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis (an allergy that occurs at certain times of the year or all year round, with symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes)
Chronic idiopathic urticaria (a condition where your child might experience hives and itching of unknown cause)
Allergies to common irritants like dust, pollen, pet hair, and moulds

To give Alerid Syrup to your child correctly, follow these steps:

Use the cup or spoon provided with the syrup to measure the right dose.
Make sure you shake the bottle well before every use.
Replace the cap tightly on the bottle after every use.

Alerid Syrup is given orally.

The use of Alerid Syrup may lead to the following side effects:

Headache
Fatigue
Drowsiness
Dry mouth
Sore throat
Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Cough

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Alerid Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

If your child experiences stomach discomfort after taking this medicine, consider giving it with food.

Alerid Syrup contains cetirizine (5 mg) which acts on your child's body as follows:

Histamine H1 Receptor Blockade: Cetirizine works by selectively inhibiting peripheral histamine H1 receptors in the body. These receptors are involved in causing allergy symptoms.
Rapid Absorption: After oral administration, cetirizine is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, with minimal anticholinergic and antiserotonergic activity. This means it does not readily enter the brain from the blood, resulting in less drowsiness. It reaches peak plasma levels within an hour.

Pregnancy

Not applicable

Breastfeeding

Not applicable

Alcohol

Not applicable

Liver

Use caution when giving Alerid Syrup to children with liver diseases. It's advisable to discuss any liver-related concerns with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised while giving Alerid Syrup if your child has a history of any kidney problems. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to your child.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Alerid Syrup interacts with the following medicines:

Sedatives: Medicines like diazepam and lorazepam can interact with Alerid Syrup, potentially increasing the drowsiness effect.
Opioids: Pain medications such as codeine or morphine can enhance the drowsiness caused by Alerid Syrup.
Antihistamines: Other antihistamines like diphenhydramine or hydroxyzine can have an additive effect with Alerid Syrup, increasing drowsiness.

Drug-Food Interactions

No known food interactions with Alerid Syrup have been established. However, it's always wise to give the medicine to your child as directed by the doctor.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Alerid Syrup interacts with the following diseases:

Kidney Disease: If your child has kidney disease, be cautious as the clearance of Alerid Syrup is reduced in this condition.
Liver Disease: Exercise caution if your child has liver disease, as cetirizine metabolism may be affected.
Epilepsy: In children diagnosed with epilepsy, there may be a heightened risk of seizures when using this syrup.
Urinary Retention: In conditions where a child has difficulty emptying their bladder fully (like due to spina bifida), use of this medicine should be supervised because it can lead to increased urinary retention.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Alerid Syrup for your child should be as the doctor recommends. This dosage may vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of your child's condition and their response to the medicine. It's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and avoid exceeding it without discussing it with your doctor first.

Over Dose

If your child accidentally consumes more Alerid Syrup than recommended, they may experience symptoms such as extreme sleepiness or restlessness. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to give your child their regular dose of Alerid Syrup, give it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with their regular dosage schedule. Do not increase the dosage without consulting your doctor.

Keep Alerid Syrup in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature between 20-25°C.
The bottle should be tightly closed and stored away from direct light.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Remember to use Alerid Syrup before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Minimise your child's exposure to allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Regular cleaning of your home can help reduce allergens.
Maintain a balanced diet for your child with plenty of fruits and vegetables. These are rich in antioxidants which can boost their immune system and potentially lessen allergy symptoms.
