Description
Claritin Kids Non-Drowsy Allergy Syrup Grape Flavour
An oral antihistamine medicine designed for children with seasonal and everyday allergy symptoms, delivering all-day relief without causing drowsiness when used as directed.
This grape-flavoured liquid suits children who prefer a syrup format over tablets and gives parents a practical option for easy dosing, supporting relief from sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, itchy nose, and watery eyes linked with pollen, dust, pet dander, and other common allergens.
Ingredients
This children’s allergy medicine contains a trusted second-generation antihistamine known for non-drowsy daytime support. The liquid format is made for convenient use and easier administration in younger age groups.
Active Ingredients
Loratadine: 5 mg per 5 mL
Inactive Ingredients
Purified water, glycerin, propylene glycol, citric acid, sodium benzoate, sucrose, artificial grape flavour, and other standard syrup-base ingredients used for stability, taste, and consistency.
How to Use
Use this syrup by mouth only. Shake the bottle well before each dose so the liquid stays evenly mixed. Measure every dose with a proper oral syringe, medicine spoon, or dosing cup. Do not use a household spoon because it can give the wrong amount.
Give the dose once daily, preferably at the same time each day. This routine supports steady allergy control during high pollen days, school hours, outdoor play, and bedtime. The syrup can be taken with or without food. If your child has persistent symptoms during allergy season, follow the label directions carefully and continue only for the recommended duration unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
Dosage
Always follow the package directions and age-based instructions on the label.
- Children 2 to under 6 years: 5 mL once daily
- Children 6 years and older: 10 mL once daily
- Adults and children 6 years and older who prefer liquid form: use according to the labelled dose
- Do not exceed one dose in 24 hours
For children under 2 years of age, use only under the direction of a healthcare professional. If your child has liver disease or kidney concerns, a pharmacist or prescriber should review the dose before use.
Precautions
Safe use begins with correct dosing and age-appropriate administration. Read the full package label before giving the medicine.
- Use only for allergy symptoms associated with hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies
- Do not use in children with known allergy to loratadine or any ingredient in the syrup
- Ask a healthcare professional before use if your child has liver disease or kidney impairment
- Do not combine with another antihistamine unless advised by a prescriber
- Keep out of reach of children
- Do not give more than the recommended daily amount
- Stop use and seek medical advice if symptoms remain severe or unusual
- Check with a pharmacist before pairing this medicine with other cold, cough, or allergy treatments
Parents should also watch for duplicate ingredients. Many combination cold and allergy medicines already contain an antihistamine. Giving two similar medicines together can increase the chance of unwanted effects.
Side Effects
This medicine is well known for its non-drowsy profile, but side effects can still occur in some children. Most effects are mild and short-lived when the correct dose is used.
- Headache
- Dry mouth
- Tiredness
- Nervousness or mild restlessness
- Stomach discomfort
Seek medical attention right away if your child develops swelling, rash, trouble breathing, or any sign of an allergic reaction. Stop use and get professional advice if side effects become persistent or interfere with normal daily activities.
