Gdcet Syrup is a medication used to treat various symptoms caused by allergic conditions in children, such as hay fever, urticaria, conjunctivitis, and common cold. Gdcet Syrup is given to children to treat a wide range of symptoms caused due to allergic conditions like hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and common cold. These symptoms may include watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching.
Gdcet Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines. It blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state. It also subsides (lowers) your child’s immune system’s response to these conditions thereby reducing the symptoms.
My child is restless and unable to sleep properly at night. Can I give Gdcet Syrup?
Gdcet Syrup can cause drowsiness as a side effect but should not be used to induce sleep in children. Consulting your child's doctor is recommended if the child experiences difficulty sleeping, as this could indicate an underlying condition.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Gdcet Syrup?
Gdcet Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Gdcet Syrup, and consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine.
How much Gdcet Syrup should I give to my child?
Gdcet Syrup dosage must be strictly determined by your child's doctor based on their age, weight, and other individual factors. Do not deviate from the prescribed dose or alter it without consulting your child's doctor as this may lead to unwanted side effects and further complicate their condition.
What if I give too much of Gdcet Syrup by mistake?
Although Gdcet Syrup is generally safe for children, exceeding the prescribed dose can lead to serious side effects. These may include seizures, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, irritability, slow breathing, and coma.
How should Gdcet Syrup be stored?
Gdcet Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Store all medications securely out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
When do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?
Always seek your child's doctor's guidance throughout the treatment process. However, immediate medical attention is required if your child experiences any severe side effects like allergic reactions (facial swelling, difficulty breathing), signs of liver problems (dark urine, yellow eyes or skin), excessive sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, confusion or hyperactivity, difficulties urinating, irritability, and vision changes.
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 Gdcet Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.
