Many children, due to the lack of strong immunity, often suffer from various kinds of allergic reactions caused by: dust, food, medicine, and other pathogens. Therefore, among the parents question remains: Does Suprastin recommended for children under 7 years. After all, this drug is very good at handling such violations, but it contains dosage instructions exclusively for adults.
Release form and composition
suprastin - a drug antihistaminic group, based on the active substance complex - Chloropyramine hydrochloride.
Depending on the form of the drug release its subsidiary components can be:
- Purified water (for Suprastinum by injection);
- Stearic acid, gelatin, lactose monohydrate, sodium kraboksimetilkrahmal, talc and potato starch (for drugs in tablet form).
According to their chemical properties, all of these components are considered completely harmless for both the child's body and for the body of an adult patient. Therefore, many doctors recommend a seven-year child to give Suprastin, not only in a bright appearance severe allergic reaction, but also as a preventive measure (by the bite of an insect, or before going to nature).
Instructions for use suprastin
According to the instructions for use of the drug Suprastin, child, at age 7, when a banal allergy are advised to take the medication in tablet form. But the injection is usually administered to children in the very rare cases of exacerbation of allergic process.
As for the pills, then it is better to drink only after a meal or during the meal, as the hydrochloride Chloropyramine acting as a main component suprastin can easily provoke gastritis or ulcers in child. Well, we should not forget that Suprastin - a water-soluble antihistamine, which means that after his admission, the child should drink one or two glasses of water.
The dosage of the drug for the child
As we know, the instruction for use of the drug, both for adults and children, is almost the same. But the dosage suprastin child to 7 years (in tablets) is markedly different from the recommended daily dose, declared by the manufacturer.
For example, if the instruction to suprastin indicates the recommended dose of 1 to 2 ml of the drug per day, the daily rate for the child will be only 0.25 - 1 ml. And take Suprastin best not for once, and for a number of approaches (not more than a quarter of a tablet of the sitting).
In this case, treatment with this drug, on average, last about a week. And in case of aggravation of allergy (such a state is present in the indications for use Suprastinum) drug therapy will need to replace injections, which are administered no more than one a day, for 2-3 days.
Possible side effects
Failure to comply with dosage suprastin, as well as its long-term use (about one month), the child may have some side effects, such as:
- Indigestion, or constipation;
- Rapid heartbeat (arrhythmia);
- Sensation of a lump in the throat;
- Cough;
- Frequent urination;
- Increased sleepiness, fatigue;
- The appearance of swelling and rashes.
Thus it turns out that in seven years, children can take Suprastin, subject to a daily medication rules. And choose to treat allergies, at such a young age, you need only the tablet form of the drug (Injection has a more pronounced effect, and the price of such a form of the drug is generally much higher tablets).
