Clarityn Syrup 60ml: Fast, Non-Drowsy Allergy Relief for Kids
Clarityn Syrup (often searched as Claritin syrup or Clarityne) is a leading non-drowsy antihistamine used to treat allergy symptoms in children and adults. Manufactured by Bayer, this mixed berry-flavored syrup provides powerful 24-hour protection against environmental allergens common in Nigeria, such as dust, pollen, and pet dander.
Why Choose Clarityn Syrup for Your Child?
Unlike older antihistamines like Piriton that often cause sleepiness, Clarityn contains Loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine. It is specifically formulated to be non-drowsy, allowing your child to stay alert for school, play, and daily activities while being free from allergy discomfort. It starts working quickly and lasts a full 24 hours with just one dose.
Key Benefits & Indications
Clarityn Syrup is highly effective for:
- Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis): Provides relief from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
- Skin Allergies: Relieves chronic hives (urticaria) and that "body pepperish" itchy sensation often caused by skin reactions.
- Dust & Pollen Sensitivity: Ideal for the Nigerian climate where dust is a frequent trigger.
Active Ingredient: Loratadine
Each 5ml dose contains 5mg of Loratadine (1mg per ml). This ingredient works by blocking H1 receptors, stopping the allergic reaction at its source without causing significant sedation.
Dosage and Administration
For best results, administer once daily according to 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 or your doctor if you are unsure about the correct dosage for your child.
Safety Information
Clarityn is generally safe for children aged 2 years and above. If your child has liver or kidney issues, please seek medical advice before use. Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
