Why do we need allergy syrups?

Allergy syrup for children is an increasingly popular solution for dealing with allergic reactions. Allergies can seriously impair a child's quality of life by causing itching, coughing, runny nose, and other symptoms.

Principle of action of syrups

Allergy syrups, or suspensions, work by blocking the production of histamine, the substance responsible for allergic reactions. They can also reduce inflammation and reduce the severity of symptoms.

Benefits of syrups over pills

For many children it is much easier to take a syrup than a pill. Children's allergy syrup usually has a pleasant taste which makes it easy to take.

Syrups work faster because they start to be absorbed in the mouth and do not take as long to dissolve as tablets.
