Alerid Syrup is a medicine containing Cetirizine hydrochloride 5 mg/5 mL. It is used for allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny, blocked nose, itchy, watery eyes), urticaria (hives) and other allergic skin conditions with itching. It belongs to the group of medicines called Second-generation H1 antihistamine.
Take as prescribed by the doctor. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Alerid Syrup are sleepiness/drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue and dizziness. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Alerid Syrup works.
Most side effects of Alerid are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
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.
Take as prescribed by the doctor. Measure with a dosing cup/spoon; can be taken with or without food. If it causes drowsiness, prefer taking it in the evening; do not exceed recommended dose especially in children.
Cetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine. It blocks histamine (H1) receptors, reducing allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes and hives. It generally causes less drowsiness than older antihistamines, though sleepiness can still occur in some people.
May cause drowsiness—avoid driving/operating machinery until you know your response. Use with caution in kidney disease (dose adjustment may be needed) and in elderly patients. Do not use without medical advice in very young children; follow pediatric dosing. Seek medical help if severe allergic reaction occurs (swelling of face/lips, breathing difficulty).
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.
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.
Alcohol (increases drowsiness), other CNS depressants/sedatives (sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medicines, opioids), other antihistamines/cough-cold combinations, theophylline (may affect cetirizine clearance in some cases)
Store at room temperature (below 25°C), protect from light and moisture, keep bottle tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.
