Desora Syrup Uses

Desora syrup is an antihistamine medication used to relieve symptoms associated with allergic conditions. It is mostly recommended for children and adults where a low dose of medicine is needed. The following are some common uses of Desora Syrup:

1. Allergic Rhinitis: Desora syrup is commonly used to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever. It can help alleviate sneezing, runny nose, nasal itching, and nasal congestion caused by allergies to substances such as pollen, dust mites, or animal dander.
2. Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria: Desora syrup is also used to treat chronic idiopathic urticaria, which is a type of long-lasting hives (skin rash) without a known cause. It helps reduce itching and skin inflammation associated with this condition.
3. Seasonal Allergies: If you experience symptoms such as sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, and nasal congestion during specific seasons, Desora syrup may be used to alleviate these symptoms caused by seasonal allergies.
4. Allergic Skin Conditions: Desora syrup can be used to relieve itching and reduce allergic reactions associated with various skin conditions, such as allergic contact dermatitis or atopic dermatitis.

Off-label Uses of Desora Syrup

1. Allergic Conjunctivitis: While Desora syrup is primarily used for nasal and respiratory allergy symptoms, it may also provide some relief for allergic conjunctivitis, an allergic reaction affecting the eyes. However, specific eye drops or ophthalmic medications are often preferred for this condition.
2. Pruritus (Itching) due to other Causes: Desora syrup’s antihistamine properties may help alleviate itching associated with various conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, or insect bites. However, other specific treatments may be more appropriate depending on the underlying cause of the itching.
3. Allergic Asthma: Desora syrup is not a standard treatment for asthma. However, in some cases, it may be prescribed as an adjunct to other asthma medications to help manage allergic triggers that contribute to asthma symptoms. Asthma treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Desora syrup has certain contraindications, which are situations or conditions where the use of Desora is not recommended.

Hypersensitivity: Desora syrup should not be used in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Desora or any of its components. Allergic reactions to the medication can range from mild skin rashes to severe reactions that require immediate medical attention.

Severe Liver Impairment: Desora is primarily metabolized in the liver, and its clearance may be affected in individuals with severe liver impairment. Therefore, it is generally contraindicated in patients with severe liver dysfunction.

Pediatric Patients with Renal Impairment: Desora syrup is contraindicated in pediatric patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m²). The dosing and safety of the medication in this population have not been established.

Desora Syrup Dose for Adults and Children (12 years and older):

• 5 milliliters (ml) of Desora syrup (corresponding to 5 milligrams) once daily.

Desora Syrup Dose for Children (6 to 11 years):

Desora selectively blocks histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine from binding to these receptors. By blocking the histamine H1 receptors, it prevents the activation of these receptors by histamine. This action helps reduce or alleviate the symptoms associated with allergic reactions, including nasal congestion, itching, and sneezing.
