Topcare Children's All Day Allergy is a medication that helps relieve symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes caused by hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies. 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, which can be increased to a maximum of 5 mL once daily if needed. For adults and children 6 years and older, the starting dose is either 5 mL or 10 mL once daily, depending on how severe the symptoms are, but you should not take more than 10 mL in a day. A key warning is to avoid this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it or to similar antihistamines, and if you have liver or kidney disease, you should consult a doctor before using it.
