Lecetez Syrup is a medication used to treat various symptoms caused by allergic conditions in children, such as hay fever, urticaria, conjunctivitis, and common cold. Lecetez Syrup is a syrup 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.
Lecetez 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.
Can I give Lecetez Syrup to my child who is having trouble sleeping at night?
Lecetez Syrup should not be given to induce sleep in children. Consult your child's doctor if they have trouble sleeping as it could be due to an underlying condition.
Can other medicines be taken alongside Lecetez Syrup?
Lecetez Syrup can interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Lecetez Syrup, and consult their doctor before giving any additional medicine to your child.
How should I administer Lecetez Syrup to my child?
Lecetez Syrup should be given exactly as prescribed by your child's doctor. The dosage is calculated based on your child's body weight and age. Do not alter the dose without consulting their doctor, as this may cause unwanted effects and worsen their condition.
What if I accidentally give too much Lecetez Syrup to my child?
Excessive amounts of Lecetez Syrup can lead to serious side effects such as seizures, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, irritability, slow breathing, and coma.
How should I store Lecetez Syrup?
Store Lecetez Syrup at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medications out of the reach and sight of children to avoid accidental intake.
When should I contact my child's doctor immediately?
Seek immediate assistance if your child experiences severe side effects such as allergic reactions (facial swelling, trouble breathing), signs of liver problems (dark-colored urine, yellow eyes or skin), excessive sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, feeling confused or hyperactive, trouble passing urine, 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 Lecetez 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 Lecetez Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine

- Lecetez Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child
