Drug Class: Second-Generation Antihistamine | Form: Oral Syrup | Prescription Status: Prescription-Only (Rx) — DRAP Registered
What is Desora Syrup 60ml?
Desora Syrup 60ml contains Desloratadine 0.5mg/ml, a long-acting second-generation antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms (الرجی کی علامات) in adults and children above 2 years of age. It treats sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin hives caused by allergic reactions. The syrup form makes it easy to give to younger children who cannot swallow tablets. Like Desora Tablets, this syrup is non-drowsy because Desloratadine does not easily cross into the brain, allowing patients to carry on with daily activities without feeling sedated.
What is Desora Syrup Used For?
Allergic Rhinitis: Relieves sneezing, runny nose, nasal itching, and itchy palate caused by seasonal or year-round allergies. Allergic Conjunctivitis: Reduces eye itching, redness, and tearing caused by allergic reactions. Chronic Urticaria (Hives): Controls itchy skin rashes and reduces the size and number of hives on the skin.
How Does Desora Syrup Work?
Desloratadine blocks histamine H1 receptors in the body. When exposed to an allergen such as pollen, dust, or pet dander, the immune system releases histamine, which causes sneezing, itching, and skin reactions. Desloratadine prevents histamine from binding to its receptors, stopping these symptoms before they develop. Its long-acting formula provides full 24-hour allergy control with a single daily dose.
