Leecet Syrup 60ml contains cetirizine (5 mg) as its active ingredient:

• Selective H1 Receptor Inhibition: Cetirizine works by selectively blocking a type of receptor in the body called histamine H1 receptors. Histamine is a chemical that is released during an allergic reaction and can cause inflammation and itching among other symptoms.

• Suppression of Allergic Symptoms: By inhibiting these receptors, cetirizine effectively suppresses the effects of histamine. This helps reduce inflammation and itching caused by the allergic reaction.

• Reduction in Drowsiness: Unlike some other antihistamines, cetirizine does not readily enter the brain from the blood. This means it is less likely to cause drowsiness—a common side effect of many allergy medications.

• Store Leecet Syrup 60ml at a cool room temperature between 20°C and 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.

• Never allow your child to access the medicine.

• Make sure you check the expiry date on the bottle and avoid using the syrup if it is past this date.

• To help manage allergic symptoms, ensure your child's environment is free from common allergens like dust mites and pet dander.

• Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids, as staying hydrated can help soothe a dry throat caused by postnasal drip.
