Frequently asked questions
My child is restless and unable to sleep properly at night. Can I give Zyncet Syrup?
No, although this medicine can cause drowsiness as a side effect, it should not be given to induce sleep in children. Consult your child's doctor if your child has trouble sleeping as it could be due to some other underlying condition.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zyncet Syrup?
Zyncet Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting Zyncet Syrup. It is also crucial to consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
How much Zyncet Syrup should I give to my child?
Zyncet Syrup dosage should be prescribed specifically by your child's doctor. The dosage is determined based on your child's weight and age. Do not adjust the dosage on your own as this may cause unwanted effects or worsen their condition.
What if I give too much of Zyncet Syrup by mistake?
While Zyncet Syrup is generally safe for children, an overdose can lead to serious side effects like seizures, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, irritability, slow breathing, and coma.
How should Zyncet Syrup be stored?
Store Zyncet Syrup at room temperature in a dry, dark place away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
When do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Consult your child's doctor for every step in the treatment process. However, immediate medical attention may be required if you notice any serious side effects like allergic reactions (e.g., facial swelling, difficulty breathing), signs of liver problems (e.g., dark urine, yellow eyes or skin), excessive sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, confusion, hyperactivity, trouble urinating, irritability, and vision changes.
Does Zyncet Syrup make you tired and drowsy?
Yes, Zyncet Syrup can cause drowsiness as a side effect.
Is Zyncet Syrup a steroid? What is it used for?
Zyncet Syrup is an anti-allergic medication and not a steroid. It relieves symptoms of allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, redness, itching, and watering of the eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also helps relieve similar symptoms caused by allergies to substances like dust mites, animal dander, and mold. Additionally, it is used to treat hives characterized by itching and rash.
How long does it take for Zyncet Syrup to work?
You may notice an improvement within an hour of taking Zyncet Syrup. However, full benefits might take a little longer to become apparent.
Can I take Zyncet Syrup and Fexofenadine together?
Sometimes, your doctor may prescribe two different antihistamines for severe itchy rashes. If you're taking Zyncet Syrup during the day, your doctor might prescribe another antihistamine for nighttime use which can cause drowsiness, especially if the itching makes it difficult to sleep. Always confirm with your doctor before combining these medications unless specifically advised.
For how long should I continue Zyncet Syrup?
The duration of taking Zyncet Syrup depends on the specific condition being treated. For instance, if using it for insect bites, it may be necessary for a day or two. Similarly, for preventing symptoms of chronic allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) or chronic urticaria, you might need to take Zyncet Syrup for longer periods. Consult your doctor if unsure about the duration of treatment.
Is it safe to take Zyncet Syrup daily for a long time?
Zyncet Syrup is generally safe when used as prescribed by your doctor. Long-term use is unlikely to harm you, but it's best to use the medication only as long as necessary.
