Heptadine Syrup is used to treat symptoms of allergies such as itching, runny nose, sneezing, or watery eyes. Besides this, Heptadine Syrup is also used to treat certain allergic skin conditions such as urticaria (nettle rash triggered by a reaction to the medicine, food, or other irritants) and angioedema (painless swelling under the skin). An allergy occurs when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade our body, causing histamine release (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose and throat, and watery eyes. Heptadine Syrup also stimulates appetite in children with appetite loss.
Heptadine Syrup contains cyproheptadine, which blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
Give Heptadine Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to give Heptadine Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for your child based on their medical condition. Some children may experience drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, blurred vision, restlessness, dry mouth, nose, or throat. Most of these side effects of Heptadine Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor immediately. Please tell your doctor if your child is allergic to Heptadine Syrup or any of its components.
