Can I give Citrimin Syrup to my child to induce sleep?
No. While Citrimin Syrup can cause drowsiness as a side effect, it should not be given to induce sleep in children. Consult your doctor if your child has trouble sleeping because there may be other underlying causes.
Can I give other medications along with Citrimin Syrup?
Citrimin Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Always inform your doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting Citrimin Syrup. In addition, consult your doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
How much Citrimin Syrup should I give my child?
Citrimin Syrup dosage should be strictly prescribed by your child's doctor. Dosage is calculated based on your child’s weight and age. Do not increase or decrease the dose independently, as it can lead to unwanted effects and worsen your child’s condition.

Is Citrimin Syrup a steroid? What is it used for?
Citrimin Syrup is an anti-allergic medication, not a steroid. It relieves the symptoms of allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, redness, itching, and watering of the eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also relieves similar symptoms caused by allergies to substances, like dust mites, animal dander, and mold. It is used for treating hives, including itching and rash.

Can I take Citrimin Syrup and Fexofenadine together?
Sometimes, your doctor might recommend taking two different antihistamines together if you are being treated for a severe itchy rash.

Do not take two antihistamines together unless recommended by your doctor.
