Six months ago, the pediatrician always wrote out preparations "Fenistil", "Suprastin" during colds or before vaccinations. Now you hear more and more often about medications "Cetirizine" or "Zodak" (drops). Instruction for children and adults in some cases gives different recommendations. Let us consider them in more detail.

The preparation is a clear or light yellow solution in a dark vial and carton. These drops are prescribed when a child or an adult:

• Permanent or seasonal conjunctivitis;
• Allergic rhinitis;
• Skin allergic rashes;
• Hay fever ;

Dosage for children and adults

The drug "Zodak" (drops) instruction for children and adults requires before dilution to dilute in a small amount of water, for example, in a tablespoon. Children should be given a sweet compote or tea later.

Twice a day should be applied:

• Five drops for children from one to six years;
• For ten drops of preschoolers and junior schoolchildren (six to twelve years).

Once, best in the evening, no more than twenty drops are taken:

• Children of twelve years;

These data are written in the instructions, however the number of drops is prescribed by the doctor, which takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient and the severity of the disease.

Do not give medicines to children under one year old, pregnant and nursing mothers. Without a doctor, do not take people with chronic kidney failure and the elderly. This is due to the fact that cetirizine in this category of people is not displayed after five to ten hours, and after fifteen to thirty hours.
