Actidil Elixir is a brand name for a medication that contains the active ingredient triprolidine. Triprolidine is an antihistamine medication that is used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies and the common cold, such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes these symptoms.
Actidil Elixir is an oral liquid that is usually taken two to three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the symptoms, the age and weight of the patient, and other factors. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider or on the medication label.
Actidil Elixir may cause side effects in some people, including drowsiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and difficulty urinating. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own, but more serious side effects may occur in rare cases, such as an allergic reaction, irregular heartbeat, or seizures.
It is important to tell your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as well as any medical conditions you have, before starting treatment with Actidil Elixir. Some medications and medical conditions can interact with this medication or increase the risk of side effects.
