Adco-Zetofen syrup for a 5 month old

Hayley I must mention that with Keiran it took about 1 and half weeks to 2 weeks before the Zetofyn worked to its full potential.

Thanks Nicolep

My 3 yr old son is on Deselex and has been for almost a year now. He is much better on it than off. We also use Nasonex spray in his nose daily.
When I enquired about Deselex for my 5 month old my Chemist told me it was only suppose to be perscribed for 2yrs+. She said the Adco-Zetofen was the allergy medication that people used before Deselex was bought out. Because the Adco-Zetofen is perscibed for 6 months+ she recommeded that.

Julz: I am taking my baby for his 6 month check up late next month but need to use something for the moment and can't afford to keeping going to the Dr especially because my 3 yr old has been at the Dr twice in the last month. It costs a fortune each time.

I have decided to give the Adco Zetophen a try and see what the results are over the next week or 2. If there is no improvement then I will stop the treatment and ask the Paed for her advice.

If anyone else has any further info regarding the Adco-Zetofen for babies, please let me know. There is very little info on the net regardng this medication and babies.

Hi there.

My LB was dignoised with allergies at 10 Months and was put on Adco Zytofen. I did find that it was effective in that my babies noise was'nt running that badly and eased the cough,it also helped him through seasons like september etc. However my LB has quite bad allergies and I found that he still had a constant runny noise on Adco Zytofen. His 18 months now and took him to the GP last month who has prescribed deselex for my LB. His only been on it for over a week now, but definatly see the improvment already.

The meds will just help your LB get through days where the weather causes people with allergies to go bad and will also allow your baby not to be so congested anymore.

I personally wouldn't use it. Sorry but there is a reason why it says 6 months. I worked for pharmacists for 10 years and I know it is probably safe, but I wouldn't.

If you think it is allergy realted rather get the gp or paed to make the proper diagnosis.

RS virus is doing the rounds so get him checked out especially since he is only 5 months old.

Hi All

My 5 month old seems to be suffering with congested nose and sinus. He is not sick just congested. It is causing him to cough and splutter. It is obviously disturbing his sleep. I am using Illiandin Infant drops but I know that this can only be used for 5 days. My chemist has recommended I use Adco-Zetofen Syrup for allergies. I think the wall heater in his room is drying his nose and causing congestion. I am also using a humidifier.

Has anyone used Adco-Zetofen syrup for a baby and if so what were the results. The insert says it is only for babies from 6 months so am a bit concerned about giving it to him.
