Introduction
Leet Syrup belongs to a group of medicines called antihistamines. It is used to treat various allergic conditions such as hay fever, conjunctivitis and some skin reactions such as eczema, hives, and reactions to bites and stings. It relieves watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching.
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 Leet Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.
How it works
Leet Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines. It blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state. It also subsides (lowers) your child’s immune system’s response to these conditions thereby reducing the symptoms.
Quick Tips
Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Avoid giving Leet Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine. Dry mouth can occur as a side effect of taking Leet Syrup. Taking sips of water may help. Leet Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child. Leet Syrup should be avoided in children who are less than 4 years of age as there is a risk of respiratory distress.
