How it works
Line 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. Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose of Line 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 Line 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 Line Syrup. Taking sips of water may help. Line Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child.
