Introduction
Fextric Oral Suspension is usually given to children to treat a wide range of symptoms caused due to allergic conditions such as hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and common cold. These symptoms include watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching among others.
Directions for Use
Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Avoid giving Fextric Oral Suspension with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine.
How it works
Fextric Oral Suspension 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.
Quick Tips
Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus if they feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose. Avoid giving Fextric Oral Suspension with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine. Fextric Oral Suspension 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, and use of air conditioners instead of opening windows during the pollen season.
