Your child’s medicine at a glance

CZ 3 Syrup is given to children to treat various symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching associated with allergic conditions like hay fever, urticaria (hives), conjunctivitis (red, itchy eye), and common cold.

Give this medicine to your child orally with or without food in the dose, time, and way prescribed by your child’s doctor. It could either be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines. The allergic symptoms may subside after your child has taken the initial few doses of CZ 3 Syrup. In case of serious allergic conditions, your child may have to continue taking the medicine for a week or two. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine, repeat the same dose after your child feels better. But, refrain from doing so if it is already time for the next dose.

Your child may experience mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and headache after taking this medicine. These symptoms are usually non-serious and disappear on their own. However, in case of prolonged or bothersome events, it would be best to consult your child’s doctor without any delay.

Inform your child’s doctor if your child is on any medicines or is allergic to any medicine, product, or food. Do inform the doctor if your child has or had any heart, liver, kidney problems or was born prematurely. Share any history regarding bowel obstruction, malnutrition, weight-related issues, and thyroid problems with the doctor. Knowledge of your child’s medical history will help avoid any complications in the treatment and guide your child’s doctor to plan your child’s overall treatment better.

How can I give CZ 3 Syrup to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use.

How CZ 3 Syrup works

CZ 3 Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines. It blocks the natural chemical substance (histamine) produced in the body during an allergic state and subsides (lowers) your child’s immune system’s response to these conditions. As a result, the symptoms are relieved, and eventually, the condition is cured.

What if I forget to give CZ 3 Syrup to my child?

Do not give a double dose to catch up on any missed dose, follow the prescribed dosing schedule strictly.

Quick tips

  • Try giving the medicines at the same time each day, to help you remember.
  • Your child may feel sleepy or dizzy after each dose of CZ 3 Syrup. If this happens, make your child sit or lie down and ask them to be careful while performing tasks that require mental focus.
  • Avoid giving CZ 3 Syrup with fatty meals and fruit juice as both can reduce the absorption of the medicine.
  • Dry mouth can occur as a side effect of taking CZ 3 Syrup. Taking sips of water may help.
  • CZ 3 Syrup can trigger constipation in your child. Give plenty of fluids and a fiber-rich diet to your child.
  • CZ 3 Syrup should be avoided in children who are less than 4 years of age as there is a risk of respiratory distress.

FAQs

Is CZ 3 Syrup a steroid? What is it used for?

CZ 3 Syrup is an anti-allergic medication, not a steroid. It relieves the symptoms of allergy. It is used to relieve runny nose, sneezing and redness, itching, and watering of the eyes caused by hay fever or seasonal allergies. It also relieves similar symptoms caused due to allergies to substances, such as dust mites, animal dander, and mold. It is also used to treat symptoms of hives, including itching and rash.

My child is restless and unable to sleep properly at night. Can I give CZ 3 Syrup?

No, although this medicine causes drowsiness as a side effect, it should not be given to induce sleep in children. Consult your child’s doctor if your child has trouble sleeping as it could be due to some other underlying condition.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as CZ 3 Syrup?

CZ 3 Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting CZ 3 Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

How much CZ 3 Syrup should I give to my child?

CZ 3 Syrup should be given strictly as prescribed by your child’s doctor. The dose of the medicine is calculated according to your child’s body weight and age. Do not increase or decrease the dose on your own as it may cause unwanted effects and can worsen your child’s condition.

What if I give too much of CZ 3 Syrup by mistake?

Although CZ 3 Syrup is relatively safe to use in children yet an excessive amount may cause some serious side effects such as seizures, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, irritability, slow breathing, and coma.

How should CZ 3 Syrup be stored?

Store CZ 3 Syrup at room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.

When do I need to call my child’s doctor right away?

Always consult your child’s doctor at every step in case of any confusion. However, immediate assistance may be required if your child develops serious side effects. These may include allergic reactions (such as facial swelling, trouble breathing), signs of liver problem (such as dark-colored urine, yellow eyes or skin), excessive sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, feeling confused or hyperactive, trouble passing urine, irritability, and vision changes.

How long does it take for CZ 3 Syrup to work?

You will notice an improvement within an hour of taking CZ 3 Syrup. However, it may take a little longer to notice the full benefits.
