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 Zyncet 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 Zyncet Syrup?

How much Zyncet Syrup should I give to my child?
