Introduction

Piriton Hayfever & Allergy Relief Syrup for Children is a trusted pharmacy antihistamine designed to relieve allergic reactions in children aged 1 and above. The active ingredient, chlorphenamine maleate, works quickly to ease symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, rashes, hives, and insect bites.

Whether your child is experiencing seasonal hayfever or has a reaction to household allergens or foods, Piriton Syrup provides effective, fast-acting relief. The syrup is banana-flavoured, sugar-free, and easy to administer using the included measuring spoon.

How It Works

Piriton contains chlorphenamine, a first-generation antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, the chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. Histamine causes inflammation, itching, redness, and sneezing. By blocking its effect, Piriton relieves symptoms quickly and calms your child’s immune response.

This antihistamine can also be used for skin allergies, mild food reactions, and other minor irritants, making it a versatile addition to your child’s medicine cabinet.

Why Choose Piriton Syrup

Piriton is a well-known and clinically trusted brand in allergy relief. This syrup formulation is suitable for younger children who may struggle with tablets. Its pleasant flavour and measured dosing system make it easier to administer, and its multi-symptom control makes it ideal for various allergy-related discomforts.

Because it can cause drowsiness, Piriton Syrup may also be beneficial when symptoms affect sleep, such as at bedtime during high pollen periods.

Important Note

Do not give this product to children under 1 year. Always check dosage by age and weight. Do not combine with other antihistamines or sedatives. If your child has any medical condition or is taking other medications, consult a pharmacist before use. Store below 25°C and keep tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.
