Description
CURTEC PAED (Cetirizine Dihydrochloride Oral Solution) is a liquid antihistamine specifically formulated for children to provide effective relief from various allergic conditions. It typically contains Cetirizine Dihydrochloride 1mg per ml, making it easy to dose accurately for infants and children. As a second-generation antihistamine, Cetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms.
This oral solution is indicated for the symptomatic relief of:
- Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever): Relieves sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and itchy, watery eyes caused by pollen and other seasonal allergens.
- Perennial Allergic Rhinitis: Helps manage year-round allergy symptoms due to allergens like dust mites, pet dander, or mould.
- Chronic Urticaria (Hives): Alleviates itching, redness, and swelling of the skin associated with chronic hives.
CURTEC PAED is designed to be well-tolerated by children, offering relief with a reduced likelihood of causing drowsiness compared to older antihistamines. Its liquid form ensures easy administration for younger patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. Dosage should always be determined by age and weight, strictly adhering to the instructions provided by a healthcare professional or the product’s packaging.
