What is Allergin Syrup?
Allergin Syrup is a trusted first-generation antihistamine used to provide symptomatic relief from various allergic conditions. It contains Chlorpheniramine Maleate as the active ingredient, which works by blocking the action of histamine—a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms.
Uses and Benefits
Allergin Syrup is effective for treating:
- Allergic Rhinitis: Relief from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes.
- Skin Allergies: Management of hives (urticaria), skin rashes, and itching.
- Insect Bites: Soothes irritation and redness from bites and stings.
- Hay Fever: Reduces seasonal allergy symptoms.
Because it helps reduce nasal secretions, it is sometimes used to manage the "dripping" sensation and coughing associated with the common cold and allergies.
Dosage and Administration
Allergin Syrup should be taken as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
- Adults: The typical dose is 10ml (4mg) every 4 to 6 hours.
- Children: Dosage for children depends on age and weight. Please consult a healthcare professional or refer to the product leaflet for specific instructions for babies and toddlers.
Note: This medication may cause significant drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after use.
Important Safety Information
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Allergin Syrup if you are pregnant or nursing.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it can increase the sedative effect of the medicine.
