Introduction About BYLOZA SYRUP

BYLOZA SYRUP is used in children (from 6 to 11 years of age with a body weight
of at least 20 kg) to relieve the symptoms of hay fever (such as sneezing,
itching, a runny and stuffy nose, and red or watery eyes) and other forms of
allergic rhinitis. It is also used to manage itchy skin rashes (hives, or
urticaria).

BYLOZA SYRUP contains Bilastine, which belongs to the group of medicines called
Antihistamines. It works by stopping the binding of histamine (a chemical that
is produced by the immune system) to its receptor in the body, and in severe
cases, it manages the initiation of an allergic reaction.

BYLOZA SYRUP should be used with caution in children with moderate or severe
kidney or liver impairment. Avoid giving BYLOZA SYRUP to your child with food or
with grapefruit juice or other fruit juices, as this will decrease the effect of
this medicine.

!### Diarrhea

Advise your child to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Avoid giving your
child a high-fat diet or spicy foods. Try to avoid giving any medicine on your
own to your child to manage diarrhea. Gradually give bland, low-fiber foods like
bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast to help firm up stools. Probiotics, found
in yogurt or supplements, may help restore the balance of gut bacteria. Practice
good hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. Consult your child’s
doctor if diarrhea worsens.

Headache

Apply a hot or cold water bag to your child’s head. Advise your child to take a
rest in a quiet room. Massage the child's scalp or head with mild pressure for a
relieving effect. Consult the child's doctor if the headache does not improve.

!### Nausea And Vomiting

Keep the child hydrated with small sips of clear fluids like water, ginger ale,
or electrolyte solutions. Avoid giving large meals; instead, opt for bland,
easy-to-digest foods. Ginger, peppermint, or chamomile tea may help soothe the
stomach. Make the child rest in a comfortable position, preferably with the head
elevated, to ease symptoms. Consult your child’s doctor if nausea persists.

!### Stomach Pain

Avoid giving spicy or fatty foods, such as caffeine, to your child, as they may
exacerbate symptoms. Give easily digestible foods like rice, bananas,
applesauce, and toast. Keep a heat pad on a child's stomach to relieve pain.

meals. Consult your child’s doctor if stomach pain persists.
