L-Hist 2.5 mg Paed Syrup belongs to a class of drugs called antihistamine or anti-allergic. It is primarily used to treat various kinds of allergies. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as 'allergens.' Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

L-Hist 2.5 mg Paed Syrup contains levocetirizine, a non-drowsy antihistamine. Levocetirizine blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as histamine, which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. L-Hist 2.5 mg Paed Syrup widely helps to treat hay fever (an allergy caused by pollen or dust), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), eczema (dermatitis), hives (red, raised patches or dots), reactions to insect bites and stings and some food allergies.

In some cases, your child may experience headaches, dry mouth, sickness, dizziness, stomach pain and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any of these side effects persist or worsen your child’s condition, inform your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor about your child's entire medical history. Other drugs or supplements should not be combined with L-Hist 2.5 mg Paed Syrup unless prescribed by a doctor. Do not give this medicine unless prescribed by the doctor.

Oral Solution/Syrup/Oral drops: Shake the bottle well before use. Administer the prescribed dose to the child using the measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper.

L-Hist 2.5 mg Paed Syrup is used to treat allergies as it blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine,’ which is naturally involved in allergic reactions.  It effectively treats hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis), round-the-year dust or pet allergies (perennial allergic rhinitis), and urticaria (swelling, redness, and itchiness of the skin). In short, it helps to relieve the discomfort and unpleasant symptoms that occur due to allergic conditions, like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes.

If your child is allergic to any ingredient in L-Hist 2.5 mg Paed Syrup, inform your doctor. To rule out any unpleasant side effects or interactions, inform your doctor about your child's health condition and the medications receiving. Do not give more than the stated recommended dose.
