Atadyn Syrup is an antihistamine medication containing Loratadine as its active ingredient. This non-sedating formulation provides long-lasting relief from various allergy symptoms without causing significant drowsiness.
Uses
Atadyn Syrup is primarily used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and other allergic conditions. It helps alleviate sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itchy throat or nose.
Benefits
- Provides effective relief from allergy symptoms
- Non-sedating formula, less likely to cause drowsiness
- Long-acting, typically providing 24-hour relief
- Suitable for daytime use without impacting alertness
- Can be used for both seasonal and perennial allergies
- Available in easy-to-administer syrup form
How It Works
Loratadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. By inhibiting histamine receptors, it reduces allergy symptoms without significantly crossing the blood-brain barrier, which minimizes drowsiness.
Dosage
The typical dosage for adults and children 12 years and older is 10 ml (10 mg) once daily. For children 2-11 years old, the dosage is usually 5 ml (5 mg) once daily. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as indicated on the product label.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include headache, dry mouth, and fatigue. Serious side effects are rare, but if you experience any unusual symptoms, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Warning
Do not exceed the recommended dose. While Atadyn is non-sedating, some individuals may still experience drowsiness. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using Atadyn Syrup, as the safety of its use during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established.
Interaction
- May interact with other medications that affect liver enzymes
- Potential interactions with certain antifungal medications
- Caution advised when used with other antihistamines
