Lorin-Nsa Syrup

Lorin-Nsa Syrup contains Loratadine, an antihistamine medication used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

Uses:

• Lorin-Nsa Syrup is prescribed to alleviate symptoms of allergic conditions including sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching of the throat or nose.
• It is also used to manage symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria, a skin condition characterized by hives and itching.
• Loratadine helps alleviate symptoms caused by the release of histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during allergic reactions.

How It Works:

• Loratadine, the active ingredient in Lorin-Nsa Syrup, works by blocking the action of histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions that causes symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose.
• By blocking histamine receptors, Loratadine prevents the effects of histamine, thereby reducing allergic symptoms.

Dosage:

• The dosage of Lorin-Nsa Syrup is determined by the prescribing physician based on factors such as the patient’s age, medical condition, and severity of symptoms.
• It is usually administered orally, with or without food, as directed by the healthcare provider.
• The recommended dosage for adults and children over 12 years of age is typically 10ml (equivalent to 10mg of Loratadine) once daily.

Precautions:

• Lorin-Nsa Syrup should be used with caution in patients with severe liver impairment or renal dysfunction.
• It is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Loratadine or any components of the formulation.
• Caution should be exercised when driving or operating machinery while taking Loratadine syrup, as it may cause drowsiness or dizziness in some individuals.

Common side effects of Lorin-Nsa Syrup may include headache, drowsiness, dry mouth, fatigue, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea or stomach pain. Less common side effects may include nervousness, insomnia, and rash. Serious adverse reactions such as allergic reactions or severe skin reactions are rare but possible.

When Not to Use:

• Lorin-Nsa Syrup is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Loratadine or any components of the formulation.
