Introduction

Cutifen 30mg/5ml Oral Suspension is an antihistamine medication commonly prescribed for children to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic conditions such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eyes), and the common cold. These symptoms include watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching. It works by blocking histamine, a natural substance produced during an allergic reaction, thereby reducing the immune system's response. While effective, it may cause drowsiness or dizziness, and should be used with caution in children under 12 years of age due to the risk of respiratory distress. Always consult a healthcare provider for proper usage and potential side effects.

Administer the oral suspension to your child as prescribed by the healthcare provider. It is recommended to 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.
