Is It Safe To Give Celestamine Tablet To A 13 Year Old Kid For Allergy?
good day, I have a son who is 13 yrs old, for about 2 weeks he usually experienced allergies in his body particularly in upper part, I tried to let him take celestamine tablet 250mg and after taking it in an hour or two allergies subsides, just wondering if this is safe to be taken for his age. I only allow him to take 1 tablet in a day but not everyday only when he got allergies.
is there any bad side effects if this is taken whenever allergies occur? please advise.
Thank you.

cELESTAMINE CONTAINS A STEROID AND an ANTI HISTAMINIC and is used as an anti allergic. If taken sparingly under supervision of a medical practitioner, it will not have much side effects but if taken regularly over a long period of time, child may develop certain side effects of steroids. Hence i suggest you consult his physician for proper guidance. An alternative anti allergic like montair lc can be give.
