Syrup
Introduction
Hitzin M Syrup is a medication primarily used in children to alleviate symptoms of allergies, including runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. It is also beneficial in managing asthma and skin allergies. The syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which work together to block chemical messengers responsible for allergic reactions and inflammation. While it is effective in preventing asthma attacks, it should not be used to stop an ongoing attack. Always consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance and dosage.
Directions for Use
Administer the syrup as prescribed by your child's doctor. Do not combine with other cold and flu medicines. Ensure you have enough medicine and follow self-care tips to avoid allergens.
How it works
Hitzin M Syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that blocks leukotriene, reducing inflammation in the airways and nose, thereby improving symptoms.
Quick Tips
Never combine Hitzin M Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Hitzin M Syrup helps prevent asthma attacks. Never use it to stop an attack that has already started as it will not help. If you are giving Hitzin M Syrup to your child for asthma or allergy, you need not give another dose to prevent exercise-induced breathing problems. In case of any confusion, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible. Make sure that you always have enough medicine. Practice self-care tips: Abstain your child from coming in contact with allergens, encourage your child to wear a face mask and avoid dusty places, give plenty of fluids as it helps in thinning and loosening the mucus in the lungs.
