Good morning. The son is 12 years old, he has been increased by the drug for allergies Deslodine, so far he has taken syrup 5ml once a day, now he has 5mg tablets once a day. I know that the pills are from the age of 12, but is it not taken into account the weight? The son is very slim, I wonder if this dose is from any specific weight.

According to the deslodine documentation, the recommended dosage depends on age. For children aged 6 to 11 years, the recommended dose is 5 ml of oral solution once a day - this amount of syrup corresponds to 2.5 mg of desloratadine. For adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over, the recommended dose is 10 ml of oral solution once daily, equivalent to 5 mg desloratadine. Instead of more syrup, the doctor ordered the preparation in tablets in an equivalent dose of 5 mg. If you have doubts about the dosage of your son, it is best to ask your doctor directly.
