Interacting Medicines

Aprepitant Fosaprepitant Magaldrate Sodium Bicarbonate

Fexigo 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.

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 Fexigo Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus. Avoid giving Fexigo Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine. Fexigo Syrup should be avoided in children who are less than 12 years of age as there is a risk of respiratory distress. Practice self-care tips: Abstain your child from coming in contact with allergens. Maintain a neat and clean ambiance around your child. Encourage your child to wear a face mask and avoid dusty places. Use of air conditioners instead of opening windows during the pollen season.
