CLARINEX® Syrup
Help your kids take back the morning with CLARINEX®
Syrup.
CLARINEX® Syrup provides relief from allergy symptoms caused by
seasonal allergens such as ragweed, grass and tree pollens in patients 2
years
of age and older and year-round allergens such as dust mites, animal dander
and
mold spores in patients 6 months of age and older. CLARINEX® Syrup
is
also approved to treat the ongoing itching and rash due to hives from
unknown
causes in patients 6 months of age and older.
Avoiding allergens can be particularly tough for kids. In
nice
weather, they play outside - just when all the pollen is in the air. In
cold
weather, they're indoors: playing with a pet, turning somersaults on the
carpet, or hanging out in the basement - all great ways to come into
contact
with indoor allergens.
CLARINEX® Syrup is a bubblegum-flavored syrup that
helps
block most histamine receptors - whether your kids' allergies are
indoors,
outdoors, or both. And because your kids can wake up with their symptoms
under
control, CLARINEX® can help them take back the
morning.
Does your child suffer from allergy symptoms in both the
spring
and fall? CLARINEX® Syrup is the only FDA-approved non-drowsy
prescription antihistamine syrup that can help relieve both seasonal and
year-round allergy symptoms even for kids as young as 2
years.
How CLARINEX® Syrup works:
Allergies (or allergic rhinitis) can show up in different ways
in
children. Sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose aren't the only symptoms
of
allergic diseases. Some children get skin rashes (atopic dermatitis)
from
allergies and others may have different conditions, as well. Learn
about some tips that may help you recognize the difference between
allergies
and the common cold.
CLARINEX® can help, but we can't do everything... Part
of
helping your child overcome his or her allergy symptoms is having a
better
understanding of what causes their symptoms. Learn
more about allergens and read some useful tips on what you can
do
to help your child.
Your kids can wake up to relief tomorrow if you talk to their
pediatrician today.
