Leader Children's All Day Allergy is a medication that helps relieve symptoms caused by hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. It works by blocking certain natural substances in the body that cause these allergy symptoms. You can take it as a liquid, with the starting dose for children aged 2 to under 6 years being 2.5 mL once daily, while older children and adults can take either 5 mL or 10 mL once daily, depending on how severe the symptoms are, but not more than 10 mL in a day. A key warning is to avoid using it if you have ever had an allergic reaction to this medication or any of its ingredients. Additionally, if you are taking tranquilizers or sedatives, it's important to consult a doctor or pharmacist before using it, as these can increase drowsiness.
