Introduction

Cerizine 5mg Tablet is an antihistamine medication given to children to alleviate symptoms of allergic conditions like hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eyes), and the common cold. It works by blocking histamine, a natural substance produced during an allergic reaction, thereby reducing the immune system's response and relieving symptoms. Common side effects include dry mouth and constipation. It is important to avoid giving this medication to children under 4 years of age due to the risk of respiratory distress. Always consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance.

Give the medicine at the same time each day to help remember. Avoid giving it with fatty meals and fruit juice as they can reduce absorption. Ensure the child sits or lies down if they feel sleepy or dizzy.
