Clarityn Syrup 60ml: Fast, Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief for Kids
Clarityn Syrup (often searched as Claritin syrup) 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 without causing drowsiness.
Why Choose Clarityn Syrup?
In the busy Nigerian environment, allergies to dust, pollen, and pet dander are common. Unlike older antihistamines that can make your child sleepy, Clarityn is a non-drowsy formula. This means your child can get relief from sneezing and itchy eyes while remaining alert for school or play. It starts working quickly and provides a full day of comfort with just one daily dose.
Key Benefits & Indications
Clarityn Syrup is used to treat:
- Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Fast relief from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes.
- Skin Allergies: Effective for chronic hives (urticaria) and itchy skin rashes or "body pepperish" sensations caused by allergies.
- Upper Respiratory Allergies: Clears irritation caused by environmental triggers.
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 significant sedation.
Dosage and Administration for Children
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.
Always consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor 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 medical professional before use. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place below 25°C.
