Description

Actidil 1.2mg/5ml Syrup is an effective antihistamine medication primarily used to relieve allergy symptoms. This syrup contains Triprolidine, a powerful ingredient that helps manage common allergic reactions such as hay fever, rhinitis, and other respiratory and skin conditions. The syrup form allows for easy administration, especially for those who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. Actidil works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose. It helps provide relief and improve comfort for individuals suffering from allergies.

Functions

• Relieves Allergy Symptoms: Actidil is specifically formulated to reduce common symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching in the nose, eyes, or throat.
• Effective for Cold and Hay Fever: It is also helpful in managing the symptoms associated with the common cold and hay fever.
• Quick-Acting: As a liquid, the syrup is absorbed faster, providing quicker relief from allergy symptoms.
• Reduces Skin Reactions: This medication can also help alleviate skin conditions like rashes that result from allergic reactions.

Precautions

• Hepatic and Renal Dysfunction: This medicine should be used cautiously in patients with liver or kidney problems. Always consult your doctor for proper dosage adjustments.
• Pregnancy and Lactation: The safety of Triprolidine during pregnancy and lactation has not been conclusively established. It should be used only when absolutely necessary and under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
• Consult a Doctor: Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have a history of respiratory issues, heart problems, or other underlying health conditions before using this medication.

Side Effects

While Actidil is generally safe when used as directed, some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:

• Drowsiness: Triprolidine may cause sleepiness or sedation. It is important to avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, while using this medication.

• Skin Eruptions: In rare cases, users may experience skin rashes or other dermatological issues.
• Gastrointestinal Distress: Some individuals may experience stomach upset or nausea.

If any side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately.

• Driving and Operating Machinery: Due to the sedative effects of Triprolidine, it is advisable to avoid driving or engaging in activities that require alertness until you know how this medication affects you.

• Avoid Self-Medication: This syrup should be used only under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Do not take this medicine unless it is specifically prescribed for you.
