Your child’s medicine at a glance

Give this medicine to your child orally with or without food in the dose, time, and way prescribed by your child’s doctor. It could either be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines. The allergic symptoms may subside after your child has taken the initial few doses of Ezin 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, repeat the same dose after your child feels better. But, refrain from doing so if it is already time for the next dose.

Your child may experience mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and headache after taking this medicine. These symptoms are usually non-serious and disappear on their own. However, in case of prolonged or bothersome events, it would be best to consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Inform your child’s doctor if your child is on any medicines or is allergic to any medicine, product, or food. Do inform the doctor if your child has or had any heart, liver, kidney problems or was born prematurely. Share any history regarding bowel obstruction, malnutrition, weight-related issues, and thyroid problems with the doctor. Knowledge of your child’s medical history will help avoid any complications in the treatment and guide your child’s doctor to plan your child’s overall treatment better.

How can I give Ezin Syrup to my child?

How Ezin Syrup works

Ezin Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines. It blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state and subsides (lowers) your child’s immune system’s response to these conditions. As a result, the symptoms are relieved, and eventually, the condition is cured.

Quick tips

Try giving the medicines at the same time each day, to help you remember.
Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose of Ezin Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.
Avoid giving Ezin Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine.
Dry mouth can occur as a side effect of taking Ezin Syrup. Taking sips of water may help.
Ezin Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child.
Ezin Syrup should be avoided in children who are less than 4 years of age as there is a risk of respiratory distress.
Your doctor has prescribed Ezin Syrup to help relieve allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and rashes.
It is okay to take Ezin Syrup with most other medications as it has few drug interactions.
Compared to other similar medications, Ezin Syrup is less likely to cause sleepiness.
Stop taking Ezin Syrup at least three days before taking an allergy test as it can affect the test results.

Frequently asked questions

My child is restless and unable to sleep properly at night. Can I give Ezin Syrup?

No, although this medicine causes drowsiness as a side effect, it should not be given to induce sleep in children. Consult your child’s doctor if your child has trouble sleeping as it could be due to some other underlying condition.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ezin Syrup?

Ezin Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Ezin Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

How much Ezin Syrup should I give to my child?

Ezin Syrup should be given strictly as prescribed by your child’s doctor. The dose of the medicine is calculated according to your child’s body weight and age. Do not increase or decrease the dose on your own as it may cause unwanted effects and can worsen your child’s condition.

What if I give too much of Ezin Syrup by mistake?

Although Ezin Syrup is relatively safe to use in children yet an excessive amount may cause some serious side effects such as seizures, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, irritability, slow breathing, and coma.

How should Ezin Syrup be stored?

Store Ezin Syrup at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.

When do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?

Always consult your child’s doctor at every step in case of any confusion. However, immediate assistance may be required if your child develops serious side effects. These may include allergic reactions (such as facial swelling, trouble breathing), signs of liver problem (such as dark-colored urine, yellow eyes or skin), excessive sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, feeling confused or hyperactive, trouble passing urine, irritability, and vision changes.

Does Ezin Syrup make you tired and drowsy?

Yes, Ezin Syrup can make you feel tired, sleepy, and weak.

Is Ezin Syrup a steroid? What is it used for?

Ezin Syrup is an anti-allergic medication, not a steroid. It relieves the symptoms of allergy. It is used to relieve runny nose, sneezing and redness, itching, and watering of the eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also relieves similar symptoms caused due to allergies to substances, such as dust mites, animal dander, and mold. It is also used to treat symptoms of hives, including itching and rash.

How long does it take for Ezin Syrup to work?

You will notice an improvement within an hour of taking Ezin Syrup. However, it may take a little longer to notice the full benefits.

Can I take Ezin Syrup and Fexofenadine together?

Sometimes the doctor may advise you to take two different antihistamines together if you are being treated for a severe itchy rash. If you are taking Ezin Syrup during the daytime, your doctor may prescribe another antihistamine for the night which causes sleepiness, especially if the itch makes it difficult for you to sleep. Do not take two antihistamines together unless recommended by your doctor.

For how long should I continue Ezin Syrup?

The duration for which the medicine needs to be taken depends on the problem being treated. If you are taking it for an insect bite, you may need it for a day or two. Similarly, if you are taking it to prevent symptoms of chronic allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nose) or chronic urticaria, you may need to take Ezin Syrup for a longer time. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure about the duration of using Ezin Syrup.

Is it safe to take Ezin Syrup daily for a long time?

Ezin Syrup is safe if used as prescribed by your doctor. Moreover, it is unlikely to harm you if you take it for a long time. But, it is best to take Ezin Syrup for only as long as you need it.
