Liokast 2.5 Syrup

Quick info

Liokast 2.5 Syrup is a medication used to treat various symptoms caused by allergic conditions such as hay fever, urticaria, conjunctivitis, and common cold in children. Liokast 2.5 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.

How it works

Liokast 2.5 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.

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 Liokast 2.5 Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.
