Each bottle contains 70 ml of syrup.
The syrup contains the active ingredient cetirizine hydrochloride. Cetirizine belongs to a group of drugs called antihistamines which help relieve the symptoms of some allergies and itchy skin rashes. The syrup is used to treat the allergic symptoms (runny or itchy nose with or without stuffiness) caused by hayfever and other allergies e.g. pet and house dust mite allergies. The syrup can also be taken to relieve the rashes and itching of chronic urticaria (hives). Urticaria can occur as a persistent condition and is recognised by the formation of raised white or reddish lumps surrounded by red inflamed areas which itch or sting. You can help reduce allergic reactions by avoiding contact with those triggers which you know cause you to react: • If you suffer from hayfever try to ensure low exposure to pollen when hayfever symptoms are expected. For example, keep windows closed, do not cut grass and stay indoors as much as possible. • Try to avoid contact with animals if they normally cause you to have allergic symptoms.
Directions: Solution for oral use. Use the spoon provided to make sure you have the correct dose. Adults (including the elderly) and children aged 6 years and over: Two 5ml spoonfuls once daily, or one 5 ml spoonful morning and evening. If the medicine makes you drowsy take once daily in the evening. Children under 6 years: not recommended. If you have kidney problems, you should only take half the recommended dose. If you take more syrup than you should: If you (or someone else) swallow a lot of the syrup all together, or if you think a child has accidently swallowed any of the syrup, contact your nearest hospital casualty department or your doctor immediately. Overdose can cause drowsiness, unconsciousness, dry mouth, loss of co-ordination, shaking, headache, dilated pupils, feeling flushed, a very high temperature, hallucinations, fits, tics, dizziness or fainting, problems urinating, changes in heart rhythm, feeling and being sick. In children, agitation may occur. If you forget to take the syrup: If you forget to take a dose, take one as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time to take the next one. Never take two doses together. Take the remaining doses at the correct time.
Health Warnings: Most people taking the syrup find it causes them no problems. Occasionally some people may have: Headache, Dizziness, Agitation, Dry mouth, Drowsiness, Stomach or intestinal discomfort, these are all temporary, mild side effects of this medicine. Stop taking this medicine and tell your doctor or go to your nearest hospital casualty department urgently if you experience a severe but rare allergic reaction which can include skin reactions, swelling of the face, lips, mouth or throat which may cause difficulty in swallowing or breathing. If you are concerned about these effects, or if the syrup affects you in any other way, stop taking it and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
