Introduction
Igniva Syrup is given to children to treat various symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching associated with allergic conditions like hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and common cold. It 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. As a result, the symptoms are relieved, and eventually, the condition is cured.
Directions for Use
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 Igniva Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.

Frequently asked questions
When should I contact my child’s doctor immediately?
Always consult your child’s doctor at each step regarding any confusion. However, immediate medical attention may be necessary if the child experiences serious adverse reactions such as: difficulty breathing (wheezing), signs of liver problems like dark urine or jaundice, excessive sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, feelings of confusion or hyperactivity, trouble urinating, irritability, and vision changes.
Can I give Igniva Syrup to my child if they are having difficulty sleeping at night?
No. While Igniva Syrup can cause drowsiness as a side effect, it should not be used to induce sleep in children. Consult your doctor for any concerns regarding your child's sleeping habits as it could indicate an underlying condition.
Can other medications be taken alongside Igniva Syrup?
It is important to inform the doctor about all other medicines your child is taking before starting Igniva Syrup. You should also consult your child’s doctor if you plan to give any medication to your child.
How much Igniva Syrup should I give my child?
Igniva Syrup dosage needs to be strictly determined by the doctor. This dose is calculated based on your child’s weight and age. Do not increase or decrease the dose on your own as it may lead to unwanted effects that could worsen their condition.
What should I do if I accidentally give too much of Igniva Syrup?
Although Igniva Syrup is relatively safe for children, excessive amounts can cause serious side effects such as seizures, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, irritability, slow breathing, and coma.
How should I store Igniva Syrup?
Store Igniva Syrup at room temperature in a dry location away from direct sunlight or heat. Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children to avoid accidental ingestion.
Does Igniva Syrup cause fatigue and drowsiness?
Yes, Igniva Syrup can make you feel tired, sleepy, and weak.
Is Igniva Syrup a steroid? What is it used for?
Igniva Syrup is an anti-allergic medication, not a steroid. It helps relieve symptoms of allergies like runny nose, sneezing, redness, itching, and watering eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also relieves similar symptoms caused due to allergies to substances such as dust mites, animal dander, and mold. It is also used to treat hives, including itching and rash.
How long does it take for Igniva Syrup to work?
You may experience a little improvement within an hour of taking Igniva Syrup. However, the full effects might take a bit longer to appear.
Can I take Igniva Syrup with Fexofenadine together?
Sometimes your doctor may advise you to take two different antihistamines together if treating a severe itchy rash. If taking Igniva Syrup during the day, your doctor might prescribe another antihistamine for the night which can cause drowsiness, especially if it makes it hard to sleep due to itching.
How long should I continue Igniva Syrup?
The duration of taking Igniva Syrup depends on the specific issue being treated. If you are using it for a bug bite, you may only need it for a day or two. For chronic allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) or urticaria, you might need to take Igniva Syrup for longer. Consult your doctor if unsure about how long to use it.
Is it safe to take Igniva Syrup daily for an extended period?
Igniva Syrup is generally safe when used as prescribed by the doctor. It is unlikely to cause any harm if you continue taking it for a long time. However, always consult your doctor about the duration of use.
