Reactine Children’s Allergy Liquid Grape, 118 mL

How Reactine Children’s Allergy Liquid Provides Allergy Relief

Understanding Children's Allergies

Allergies in children occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances called allergens. Common triggers include pollen from trees, grass, and weeds, dust mites found in bedding and carpets, and pet dander from animals like cats and dogs. When a child with allergies is exposed to an allergen, their body releases histamine, a chemical that causes allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin rashes.

How Reactine Children’s Allergy Liquid Works

Reactine Children’s Allergy Liquid contains cetirizine hydrochloride, an antihistamine. Cetirizine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction. By blocking histamine receptors, cetirizine helps to alleviate common allergy symptoms. Reactine Children’s Allergy Liquid provides 24-hour relief from allergy symptoms, making it a convenient option for parents. According to Health Canada, antihistamines are effective in managing seasonal and perennial allergies.
