Neo-Sedil Syrup Uses

Neo-Sedil syrup is an antihistamine medication primarily 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 and indications of Neo-Sedil Syrup:

1. Allergic Rhinitis: Neo-Sedil syrup is often used in children with allergic rhinitis, which includes symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and nasal congestion caused by allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or molds.
2. Allergic Conjunctivitis: Neo-Sedil syrup may be used in children to manage symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, which is an inflammation of the eyes caused by allergies. It helps relieve eye itching, redness, and watering associated with allergic reactions.
