Clarityn Syrup 60ml: Fast, Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief for Children
Clarityn Syrup (Loratadine) is a trusted antihistamine used to provide 24-hour relief from allergy symptoms in children and adults. Manufactured by Bayer, this mixed berry-flavored syrup is specifically designed to be easy for children to take while offering powerful protection against common allergens.
Why Choose Clarityn Syrup?
Unlike older antihistamines, Clarityn is a non-drowsy formula. This means your child can get relief from sneezing and itchy eyes without feeling sleepy or tired during school or play. It starts working quickly and provides a full day of comfort with just one dose.
Key Indications
In Nigeria, Clarityn Syrup is commonly used to treat:
- Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Relief from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes.
- Skin Allergies: Effective for chronic hives (urticaria) and itchy skin rashes.
- Upper Respiratory Allergies: Clears congestion and irritation caused by dust, pollen, or pet dander.
Active Ingredient: Loratadine
Each 1ml of Clarityn syrup contains 1mg of Loratadine. This second-generation antihistamine selectively blocks H1 receptors in the body, stopping the allergic reaction at its source without causing significant sedation.
Dosage and Administration
For the best results, follow the dosage based on body weight and age:
- Children 2 to 12 years (Under 30kg): 5ml (one teaspoon) once daily.
- Children 2 to 12 years (Over 30kg): 10ml (two teaspoons) once daily.
- Adults and Children over 12 years: 10ml once daily.
Consult a GoMed pharmacist if you are unsure about the correct dosage for your child.
Safety Information
Clarityn is generally well-tolerated. However, if your child has liver or kidney conditions, consult a doctor before use. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place below 25°C.
