Cetirox Kid Syrup – Cetirizine Hydrochloride 5 mg/5 mL Cetirox Kid Syrup contains Cetirizine Hydrochloride 5 mg per 5 mL, an antihistamine (anti-allergic) medicine. It is used to help relieve symptoms associated with allergic conditions. Cetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine (H1 receptors), a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. It can help reduce symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, nasal itching, and hives (urticaria). Dosage The dosage of Cetirox Kid Syrup depends on the child's age, medical condition, kidney function, and healthcare professional's recommendation. Because the syrup contains 5 mg cetirizine per 5 mL (1 mg/mL), the prescribed quantity should be measured carefully with an appropriate measuring device. For children, follow the pediatrician's instructions or the age-specific directions on the approved product label. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Precautions Inform the doctor if the child has kidney or liver problems. Do not use if there is a known allergy to cetirizine, hydroxyzine, or any ingredient in the formulation.

Use the supplied measuring cup/spoon or an oral syringe for accurate dosing. Do not give more than the recommended amount. Medical advice should be obtained before prolonged use.
