Histafree Suspension (60 ml)

Description

Histafree Suspension (60 ml) is a liquid formulation of an antihistamine used to treat allergy-related symptoms. It typically contains Desloratadine, which is effective in reducing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes due to allergies. This suspension may be prescribed for both children and adults, especially if tablets are difficult to swallow.

Key Information about Histafree Suspension:

1. Active Ingredient:
   • Desloratadine: A second-generation antihistamine that helps block the action of histamine, a substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction, thereby reducing allergy symptoms. Desloratadine has a lower sedative effect than first-generation antihistamines, making it less likely to cause drowsiness.
2. Indications:
   • Allergic Rhinitis (e.g., seasonal allergies): To treat symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and runny nose.
   • Urticaria (Hives): For the treatment of itching, swelling, and rash associated with hives.
3. Dosage:
   • The dosage for Histafree Suspension may vary depending on age and specific medical conditions. For adults and children over 12 years, the typical dose is 10 ml once daily.
   • For younger children, the doctor will prescribe a dose based on their age and weight.
   • It’s important to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the medication is properly mixed.
4. Side Effects:
   • Common side effects may include headache, dry mouth, fatigue, or dizziness.
   • Rare side effects include allergic reactions, such as swelling or difficulty breathing, in which case immediate medical attention should be sought.
5. Precautions:
   • Before using Histafree Suspension, consult your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
   • Avoid alcohol while using this medication, as it may increase the risk of side effects like drowsiness.
   • If you are taking other medications, especially those for depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders, inform your doctor to avoid potential interactions.
