Polaramine PEAD 0.5mg/5ml Syrup
Prescription Required
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Polaramine PEAD 0.5mg/5ml Syrup is an antihistamine medicine that effectively treats a wide range of symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching caused due to allergic conditions like hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and the common cold.
Give Polaramine PEAD 0.5mg/5ml Syrup to your child by mouth with or without food in the dose and way prescribed by the doctor. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines. The allergic symptoms may subside after your child has taken the initial few doses of Polaramine PEAD 0.5mg/5ml Syrup. In case of serious allergic conditions, your child may have to continue taking the medicine for a week or two. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, let the child calm down and give the same dose again. However, do not repeat the dose if it is already time for the next dose.
After taking this medicine, your child may experience minor and temporary side effects like nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, headache, and constipation. These symptoms generally disappear within a few days. But, in case they persist or start bothering your child, it would be best to consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Inform your child’s doctor if your child is on any medical regime or is allergic to any medicine, product, or food. Make sure the doctor knows if your child has or had any heart, liver, or kidney problems or was born prematurely. Any history regarding bowel obstruction, malnutrition, weight-related issues, and thyroid problems should also be well indicated to the doctor to avoid any complications in the treatment. All this information will help your child’s doctor make dose alterations and plan your child’s overall treatment better.
