Cetrizine Syrup 60ml

• Cetrizine Syrup can be used to manage the following conditions:

• Seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, which are allergies that recur throughout the year or during specific seasons. These allergies cause symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes and throat.

• Chronic idiopathic urticaria is a skin condition where red hives or welts appear on the body for no apparent reason. This medicine helps reduce hives, redness, and itching.

• Allergic reactions from insect bites, reduce itching, swelling, and redness at the site of the bite.

Here's how to give your child Cetrizine Syrup:

• Use a proper millilitre measuring device to ensure accurate dosage.

• Remember to shake the bottle well before each use.

• This medicine is sugar-based and needs caution for use in diabetic patients. If your child has diabetes, consult your doctor before giving them this syrup.

• Always keep the bottle securely capped after use.

Cetrizine Syrup is given orally.

Cetrizine Syrup contains cetirizine hydrochloride (5 mg) which works on your child's body in the following ways:

• Blocks H1 Receptors: Cetirizine acts as a selective antagonist of peripheral H1 receptors. These are specific sites in the body where histamine, a chemical messenger released during an allergic reaction, acts.

• Reduces Allergy Symptoms: By blocking the action of histamine at these receptor sites, cetirizine prevents histamine from acting on cells and thereby reduces allergy symptoms.

• Minimal Anticholinergic and Antiserotonergic Activity: This means that cetirizine has very little effect on other neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and serotonin - which are involved in various bodily functions - contributing to its safety profile in children.

• It's important to remember that medicine activity may vary depending on the individual child's body and their specific allergic condition.

• Store Cetrizine Syrup in a cool, dry place at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep it away from light and moisture.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze the syrup.

• Always ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep it out of your child's reach at all times.

• As Cetrizine Syrup manages allergies, avoid exposing your child to known allergens like dust, pollen, or certain foods that trigger an allergic reaction.

• For managing skin allergies like hives, ensure your child wears cotton clothes as synthetic materials can sometimes irritate sensitive skin.
