Description
Hatric Syrup is an antihistamine medication used to treat allergy symptoms. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the product:
Product Overview:
- Product Name: Hatric Syrup
- Form: Syrup
- Quantity: Bottle of 30 ml
Composition (per 5 ml):
- Levocetirizine – 2.5 mg:
Levocetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine. It is primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with allergic reactions, such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes, and skin reactions like hives.
Indications:
Hatric Syrup is used for the treatment of various allergic conditions, including:
- Allergic Rhinitis: To relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy/watery eyes caused by pollen, dust, pet dander, etc.
- Urticaria (Hives): To relieve itching and rashes caused by hives or other allergic skin reactions.
- Other Allergic Reactions: Any other allergy-related symptoms involving the skin, eyes, or nose.
Mechanism of Action:
Levocetirizine works by blocking the H1 histamine receptors. Histamine is a substance that is released in the body during an allergic reaction, causing symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, and fluid leakage. By blocking the action of histamine, Levocetirizine reduces these symptoms.
Dosage:
- Adults and children over 6 years: Typically, 5 ml (2.5 mg) once a day.
- Children between 2 to 6 years: The dosage might be adjusted based on the doctor’s recommendation.
It is essential to follow the doctor’s instructions for dosage to ensure effective treatment and avoid possible side effects.

- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking Levocetirizine, as it may increase drowsiness or other side effects.
- Drowsiness: Levocetirizine is less likely to cause drowsiness than first-generation antihistamines, but some people may still experience it.
