FAQs

Q. How much Loridin Suspension should I give to my child?

Q. My child is 2 years old and is suffering from allergic skin rashes. Is Loridin Suspension the right choice of treatment?

Loridin Suspension is given to treat allergic conditions but it is not approved to be used in children less than 4 years of age. Therefore, avoid giving Loridin Suspension if your child is less than 4 years and consult your child’s doctor for an alternative therapy.
