Aerius 0.5 mg/ml Oral Solution 150 ml

Aerius Oral Solution contains Desloratadine, the active primary metabolite of loratadine and one of the most selective H1 antihistamines available. Desloratadine's enhanced receptor selectivity and essentially zero CNS penetration profile makes it the most truly non-sedating antihistamine in clinical use, with no cognitive impairment even at higher doses. The 0.5mg/ml concentration is formulated for children from 1 year of age, and the bubblegum flavour significantly improves palatability and compliance in young patients.

Specs

Benefits

• Desloratadine is pharmacologically superior to its parent compound Loratadine in terms of H1 receptor selectivity and binding affinity, providing more complete and sustained antihistamine activity from a smaller dose
• The essentially zero CNS penetration of Desloratadine means children taking it for allergy management are not made drowsy or cognitively impaired - they can attend school, concentrate normally, and participate in activities without any sedation
• The bubblegum flavour is widely accepted by children aged 1 to 5 who are the most challenging age group for medicine administration - improved palatability directly translates to better compliance and complete dose delivery
• 150ml provides approximately 2 to 3 months of daily treatment for a young child, making it a practical seasonal allergy supply that avoids constant repurchasing
• The once-daily dosing regime supports both parental compliance management and provides 24-hour consistent allergy symptom control through school and sleep hours
