Product Overview
About Azomyr
Azomyr is a medicine containing the active substance desloratadine. It is available as a 5-mg tablet, 2.5-mg and 5-mg orodispersible tablets (tablets that dissolve in the mouth), a 0.5-mg/ml syrup and a 0.5-mg/ml oral solution.
What it is used for
Azomyr is used to relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages caused by an allergy, for example, hay fever or allergy to dust mites) or urticaria (a skin condition caused by an allergy, with symptoms including itching and hives). The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How it is used
The recommended dose for adults and adolescents (12 years of age and over) is 5 mg once a day. The dose in children depends on their age. For children from one to five years of age, the dose is 1.25 mg once a day, taken as 2.5 ml syrup or oral solution. For children from six to 11 years of age, the dose is 2.5 mg once a day, taken either as 5 ml of the syrup or oral solution, or as one 2.5-mg orodispersible tablet. Adults and adolescents can use any form of the medicine.
How it works
The active substance in Azomyr, desloratadine, is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the receptors to which histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms, normally attaches itself. When the receptors are blocked, histamine cannot have its effect, and this leads to a decrease in the symptoms of allergy.
