Description

Allerwood Syrup (1 mg/ml) is an effective antihistamine used for relieving symptoms associated with allergies. It contains Loratadine, a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine in the body. This syrup is commonly used for managing seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis (hay fever) as well as idiopathic chronic urticaria (hives). It helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes caused by allergic reactions, providing relief from discomfort.

Functions

• Relieves Allergy Symptoms: Allerwood works by alleviating common allergic reactions like sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.
• Controls Skin Rashes: It is effective in treating chronic skin conditions such as idiopathic urticaria (hives) that have an unknown cause.
• Non-Sedating: Unlike some other antihistamines, Loratadine in Allerwood is a non-sedating formula, which means it is less likely to cause drowsiness compared to first-generation antihistamines.

Precautions

• Liver Impairment: Use Allerwood with caution if you have severe liver issues, as the medication may affect liver function.
• Pregnancy and Lactation: This medication is contraindicated for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Always consult your healthcare provider for alternatives or guidance.
• Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can intensify the sedative effects of this medication, so it is advised to avoid drinking while using Allerwood.
• Consult a Doctor: If you are taking other medications or have any underlying health conditions, especially related to the heart or liver, consult your doctor before using this medication.

Side Effects

While Allerwood is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience:

• Somnolence: Excessive drowsiness or sleepiness, although this is rare compared to other antihistamines.
• Anxiety: Feelings of unease or nervousness may occur in some patients.
• Fatigue: Some individuals may feel tired or exhausted.
• Nausea or Headache: Infrequent but possible side effects.

If you experience any severe reactions such as chest pain, palpitations, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

Cautions

• Driving and Operating Machinery: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you experience drowsiness, as Allerwood can impair your ability to focus.
• Allergic Reactions: Do not use this medication if you are allergic to Loratadine or any of its components.
• Heart Rate: If you notice a fast or irregular heartbeat, contact your doctor as this could indicate a reaction to the medication.
• Dosage: Follow the prescribed dosage and do not exceed the recommended amount. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
