WHAT AERINAZE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT AERINAZE IS
Aerinaze tablets contain a combination of two active ingredients,
desloratadine which is an
antihistamine and pseudoephedrine sulphate which is a decongestant.
HOW AERINAZE WORKS
Antihistamines help to reduce allergic symptoms by preventing the
effects of a substance called
histamine, which is produced by the body. Decongestants help to clear
nasal congestion
(blocked/stuffy nose).
WHEN AERINAZE SHOULD BE USED
Aerinaze tablets relieve symptoms associated with seasonal allergic
rhinitis (hay fever), such as,
sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and eyes, when accompanied by nasal
congestion in adults and
adolescents 12 years of age and older.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Aerinaze is indicated in adults and adolescents 12 years and older for
the symptomatic treatment of
seasonal allergic rhinitis when accompanied by nasal congestion.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of Aerinaze is one tablet twice a day.
The recommended dosage and the duration of treatment should not be
exceeded.
The duration of treatment should be kept as short as possible and
should not be continued after the
symptoms have disappeared. It is advisable to limit treatment to about
10 days, as during chronic
administration the activity of pseudoephedrine sulphate may diminish.
After improvement of the
congestive condition of the mucosae of the upper airway, treatment may
be maintained with
desloratadine alone, if necessary.
_ _
_Elderly patients _
Patients of 60 years or older are more likely to experience adverse
reactions to sympathomimetic
medicinal products, such as pseudoephedrine sulphate. The safety and
efficacy of Aerinaze have not
been established in this population, and there are insufficient data
to give adequate dose
recommendations. Therefore Aerinaze should be used with caution in
patients above 60 years of age.
_Patients with renal or hepatic impairment _
The safety and efficacy of Aerinaze have not been established in
patients with impaired renal or
hepatic function, and there are insufficient data to give adequate
dose recommendations. Aerinaze is
not recommended for use in patients with impaired renal or hepatic
function.
