About Longifene Syrup 200 ml

Longifene Syrup 200 ml belongs to the class of medications called antihistamines and antiallergic agents used to relieve allergic conditions and to prevent nausea, vomiting and motion sickness. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as allergens. Nausea is feeling an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is when you throw up.

Longifene Syrup 200 ml contains Buclizine, which works by blocking the action of chemical messengers that cause allergic symptoms. Thus, it helps treat allergic conditions. Longifene Syrup 200 ml prevents nausea and vomiting by inhibiting the vomiting centre in the brain from receiving the nerve messengers that cause motion sickness.

In some cases, Longifene Syrup 200 ml may cause diarrhoea, dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and indigestion. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to consult the doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.

Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drive or operate machinery only if you are alert, as Longifene Syrup 200 ml may impair your ability to drive. Avoid or limit the consumption of alcohol while on treatment with Longifene Syrup 200 ml. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
