Delsone Syrup
Prescription Required
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Delsone Syrup belongs to a class of medicines called steroids. It helps treat certain types of allergies, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disorders, hormonal disorders, and even cancer in children. It is also the treatment of choice after organ transplantation and for Nephrotic syndrome in children.
Give Delsone Syrup to your child with food. The usually prescribed frequency is once daily, preferably in the morning after breakfast. The dose of this medication will depend on your child’s clinical condition, body weight, age, and treatment response. Use Delsone Syrup only for the recommended duration of time. Do not prolong its use, more than recommended as that may lead to increased side effects. Also, do not stop giving this medicine suddenly. Sudden withdrawal may affect the ongoing treatment and the child may exhibit withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and thirst. The dose needs to be gradually reduced before stopping it completely. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking Delsone Syrup, let the child calm down, and then give the same dose again.
The most common side effects associated with the use of Delsone Syrup include increased appetite, weight gain, increased blood pressure, and behavioral and mood changes. Many of these usually go away once the treatment is stopped. However, in case these persist or start bothering your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay. Taking Delsone Syrup can also make it harder for your child to fight off infections. Tell the doctor if your child shows any signs of infection such as fever or sore throat.
Never practice self-medication, always consult your child’s doctor for advice. Your child’s doctor must be aware of your child’s entire medical history, including any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Having an insight into your child’s overall health will help. This will guide the doctor in planning your child’s overall treatment.

Benefits of Delsone Syrup for your child
In Treatment of Inflammatory conditions
Delsone Syrup helps in the treatment of a wide variety of inflammatory conditions such as asthma, severe allergic reactions, juvenile arthritis, uveitis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. Delsone Syrup works by inhibiting the secretion of chemicals that cause inflammation like prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
In Treatment of Autoimmune conditions
Delsone Syrup has been found useful in organ transplantation and in treating several autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, connective tissue disease, skin disorders, nephrotic syndrome, acute interstitial nephritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Delsone Syrup stops the release of chemical messengers (interleukins) that are required for the multiplication of white blood cells (WBC) in the body. By doing so, it suppresses the body’s immune system and disables it from acting against the body’s organ systems. This helps in reducing symptoms such as swelling, pain, itching, and other allergic-type reactions. It is important to know that this medicine may weaken your child’s immune system, so you should keep your child away from other people who are ill or have infections.

FAQs
Is Delsone Syrup a steroid?
Yes, Delsone Syrup is a steroid medicine also known as glucocorticoids which occur naturally in the body. These glucocorticoids help to maintain health and wellbeing. Delsone Syrup increases the corticosteroids levels in the body which helps in treating various illnesses involving inflammation (redness, tenderness, heat, and swelling).
Are there any serious side effects while my child is on Delsone Syrup?
We use medicines to make our children better, but sometimes they may cause some unwanted side effects. However, the occurrence of side effects in the case of short-term use is not commonly observed. Side effects are more likely to appear in case of high dose, increased dose, or any long-term use. The doctor will use the lowest possible dose for as little time as possible to avoid side effects.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Delsone Syrup?
Delsone Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Delsone Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Delsone Syrup?
It is advised not to get your child vaccinated while they are on treatment with Delsone Syrup. Let your child recover from the ongoing illness and finish the complete course of the medicine. As soon as a child feels better, even if he or she is on antibiotics, the vaccine can be given after consulting the doctor.
In what conditions should I avoid giving Delsone Syrup to my child?
Avoid giving Delsone Syrup if your child is suffering from conditions like cardiac disease or congestive heart failure (except in the presence of active rheumatic carditis), hypertension, thromboembolic disorders, or diabetes mellitus. Delsone Syrup should also be avoided if your child has a family history of active TB, active herpes infection, osteoporosis, myasthenia gravis, or renal insufficiency.
How can I store Delsone Syrup at home?
Keep the medicine in a cool dry place out of the reach of children and pets. This will help avoid any accidental intake.
Can Delsone Syrup cause any behavioral problems?
One of the potential side effects of corticosteroid medicine is mood change, such as irritability which can lead to difficult behavior in some children. When used for the short term, it can increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels, causing some children to become hyperactive. For this reason, it is always recommended to give Delsone Syrup in the morning, so there is less impact on sleep.
