Suprastin

Suprastin is one of the most well-known antihistamines used for allergy symptoms. It works quickly and is suitable for both adults and children. This medication is a staple in many home kits due to its wide range of uses and reliable effect.

What Is Suprastin Used For?

The main indication is allergic reactions. Suprastin helps relieve hay fever, hives, and symptoms of allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, or conjunctivitis. It can also ease itching caused by insect bites or food allergies. The active ingredient blocks H1 histamine receptors, which reduces swelling, itching, and rashes effectively.

Suprastin is sometimes used as part of supportive therapy during viral infections — alongside products like Arbidol, Viferon, and Ingavirin. It can help reduce allergic reactions to other medications and support the immune system.

How to Take Suprastin Correctly

Suprastin tablets should be taken with food, without chewing. For adults and teens over 14, the standard dosage is one tablet every 6 to 8 hours.

Children between 1 and 6 years old are usually prescribed half a tablet up to twice a day. For children aged 6 to 14, the recommended dose is also half a tablet, taken two or three times a day.

In most cases, treatment lasts 5 to 7 days but may be extended as advised by a healthcare provider. It’s important not to exceed the recommended dose, as it may cause drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, or trouble concentrating.

Before using Suprastin, always read the full instructions, especially if you have chronic conditions. The medication is not suitable for infants under one year, pregnant women, or anyone allergic to chloropyramine.

What Is the Active Ingredient in Suprastin?

The active compound is chloropyramine hydrochloride — a first-generation antihistamine. It provides strong anti-allergic and anti-itch effects, along with mild sedation. Relief begins within 15 to 30 minutes of taking the tablet, with maximum effect seen after 1 to 2 hours. The duration of action is about 6 hours.

Due to its sedative effect, it’s best to avoid driving or operating machinery while taking Suprastin.
