Active Ingredients
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride: 12.5 mg per 5 mL
Inactive Ingredients
Flavouring agents, purified water, sweetening agents, colouring agents, stabilizers, and preservatives.
How to Use
Give this allergy medicine exactly as directed on the label or as advised by a healthcare professional. Use the measuring cup or oral dosing device supplied with the bottle. Do not guess the dose with a kitchen spoon, because inaccurate measuring can lead to underdosing or excessive use.
Shake the bottle well before each use so the liquid remains evenly mixed. Measure each dose carefully. Give the medicine by mouth. Children should take it under adult supervision.
For best results:
- Check the childors age before giving each dose
- Read the full package directions before first use
- Keep track of the time of each dose
- Do not combine with another antihistamine unless instructed by a doctor
- Store the bottle tightly closed after use
This liquid antihistamine is commonly used when allergy symptoms affect sleep, school, outdoor play, or daily comfort.
Dosage
Dosage depends on the childors age and the instructions provided with the medicine. Follow the label exactly. Do not increase the amount or give doses more often than recommended.
General dosing guidance:
- Use only for children within the approved age group on the package
- Measure in mL for accuracy
- Space doses as directed on the label
- Do not exceed the maximum daily amount
- Ask a pharmacist or doctor before use in younger children
If a dose is missed, give the next dose at the usual time if still needed. Do not give two doses together.
Precautions
This medicine contains diphenhydramine, a sedating antihistamine. It can cause drowsiness, reduced alertness, or unusual excitement in some children. Watch the child after the first dose to see how they respond.
Use caution in children who have:
- Asthma or breathing problems
- Glaucoma
- Difficulty urinating
- Liver disease
- Ongoing cough not related to allergies
- A history of sensitivity to antihistamines
Do not use this medicine with other cold, cough, or allergy medicines that also contain diphenhydramine or similar antihistamines. Combining overlapping ingredients can increase side effects.
Speak with a healthcare professional before use if the child takes prescription medicine, has a chronic medical condition, or is under regular medical care. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, seek urgent medical help right away.
