CETRIZINE (Cetirizine (5mg/5ml))

CETRIZINE SUSP 30ML is a medication prescribed for children experiencing a range of allergic symptoms, including watery eyes, sneezing, a runny nose, and itching. Conditions like hay fever, hives (urticaria), and conjunctivitis (an inflamed, itchy eye) are common reasons for its use, as well as symptoms associated with the common cold. This syrup can be administered to your child orally, either with or without food, following the dosage instructions and schedule provided by the healthcare professional. It may be prescribed on its own or alongside other medications. Typically, signs of allergy relief may appear after just a few doses; however, for more severe allergic reactions, it might be necessary for your child to continue treatment for a week or longer. If vomiting occurs within half an hour of taking the medication, you may give another dose once your child feels well enough—unless the next scheduled dose is imminent. While some children may experience mild side effects such as nausea, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, or headaches, these effects are generally temporary and resolve without intervention. Should any side effects persist or cause concern, it is advisable to seek guidance from your child’s healthcare provider. It is important to inform the doctor about any other medications your child is taking and any known allergies, as well as any history of heart, liver, or kidney issues, and any relevant gastrointestinal, nutritional, or thyroid conditions. This information will assist in ensuring the safest and most effective treatment approach for your child.
