Composition of Longifene Syrup
Longifene Syrup contains Cyproheptadine. It belongs to the Antihistamine / leukotriene antagonist class of medicines.
Uses of Longifene Syrup
- Nausea
- Reduces vomiting
- Safe for children
Benefits of Longifene Syrup
- In Allergic rhinitis
- Longifene blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
- In Hives and skin allergy
- Longifene calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
- In Itching
- Longifene relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
- In Allergic asthma
- Longifene reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.
How Longifene Syrup works
Cyproheptadine blocks the chemical messengers your body releases during an allergic reaction, which relieves sneezing, a running nose, watering eyes and itching.
How to take Longifene Syrup
Shake well before use, give the prescribed dose, can be taken with or without food
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Longifene Syrup
Most side effects of Longifene are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Drowsiness
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Tiredness
- Nausea
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions
Older antihistamines cause marked drowsiness — do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this affects you. Tell your doctor promptly about any change in mood, sleep, agitation or unusual thoughts while taking montelukast; this is uncommon but recognised. This relieves the symptoms of an allergy; it does not treat the cause, and it is not a treatment for an acute asthma attack. Seek emergency care for swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing.
Do not take Longifene if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. The sedating antihistamines are not suitable for very young children, or for people with glaucoma or an enlarged prostate, without medical advice.
Interactions with other medicines
Alcohol, sleeping tablets and other sedating medicines add to the drowsiness. Tell your doctor about all cold and cough preparations — many already contain an antihistamine.
How to store Longifene Syrup
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, use it within the period printed on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick tips for Longifene Syrup
