Introduction:
Alexcet 5mg Syrup is given to children to treat various symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching associated with allergic conditions like hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and common cold.

Dosage Form:
Syrup

How to Use:
Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose of Alexcet 5mg Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.

How it Works:
Alexcet 5mg Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines. It blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state and subsides (lowers) your child’s immune system’s response to these conditions. As a result, the symptoms are relieved, and eventually, the condition is cured.

Quick Tips:
  • Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember.
  • Avoid giving Alexcet 5mg Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine.

  • Alexcet 5mg Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child.
