Actidil Elixer 60ml

Actidil Elixer 60ml, made by Glaxo Smithkline Ltd, is a sedating antihistamine. Its active ingredient is Triprolidine, and it is used for allergies and runny nose. Pack size: actidil elixer 60ml.

Uses of Actidil Elixer 60ml

Actidil Elixer 60ml is used to relieve symptoms of hay fever and other allergies, such as sneezing, a runny nose, itchy watery eyes and itchy skin. It is often included in cough and cold remedies, sometimes combined with a decongestant, to dry up a runny nose. It eases symptoms but does not treat the underlying cause of a cold.

How Actidil Elixer 60ml works

Triprolidine blocks H1 histamine receptors. Histamine is released by the body during an allergic reaction and causes sneezing, itching and a runny nose; blocking it reduces these symptoms. It also crosses into the brain, which explains its drowsy effect.

Possible side effects

Like other older antihistamines, Actidil Elixer 60ml often causes drowsiness. Common side effects include:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth, nose or throat
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Constipation
• Difficulty concentrating

Get medical help if you have a fast or irregular heartbeat, difficulty passing urine, confusion, fits, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• Avoid driving or using machinery if drowsy, and avoid alcohol and other sedating medicines.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, epilepsy, or liver or kidney disease.
• Cough and cold products containing it should not be given to young children unless a doctor advises.
• Do not take it with MAO inhibitor antidepressants, and check other cold remedies so you do not double up on antihistamines.
• Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using Actidil Elixer 60ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
