How It Works: It is a first-generation antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, the chemical responsible for allergic symptoms like itching, swelling, and sneezing. It also has a moderate sedative effect, which can help with sleep disruption caused by severe itching.
Form: Oral Syrup
Warning:
Drowsiness: This medication frequently causes drowsiness; do not drive or operate heavy machinery while using it.
Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it significantly increases the sedative effect of Piriton.
Age: Should not be given to children under 1 year of age without medical supervision.
Medical Conditions: Consult a doctor if you have glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, epilepsy, liver disease, or heart conditions before using Piriton.
