Lvt 2.5mg/5ml Syrup blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state. It also lowers the immune system’s response to these conditions, thereby reducing the symptoms.

Try giving the medicines at the same time each day to help you remember. Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose. 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 the syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine. Dry mouth can occur as a side effect. Taking sips of water may help. The syrup can trigger constipation. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child. Avoid using the syrup in children under 4 years of age due to the risk of respiratory distress.
