Composition
Erius syrup contains desloratadine as the active ingredient. It also includes inactive ingredients such as propylene glycol, sorbitol, citric acid, sodium benzoate, and purified water.

Desloratadine, the active ingredient in Erius syrup, is a second-generation antihistamine that exhibits selective peripheral H1-antagonist activity. It works by blocking histamine receptors, thereby reducing allergic symptoms.

Erius syrup has antihistaminic properties, providing relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. It has minimal sedative effects compared to first-generation antihistamines.
Indications for Use
Erius syrup is indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) in adults and children.

Benefits Compared to Analogues
