Syrup lorinase contains LORATIDINE which is used in cough as an decongestants. It is also used as an anti allergic medicine.

Lorinase syp 5mg per 5 ml should be given half teaspoon ie 2.5 ml once daily in the morning.
This dose is recommended for 2to6 years of age.

Side effects like sleepiness, dry mouth will be there but comparatively lower in Lorinase.

It is always recommended to take medicine under Pediatrician guidance.
If cough persists or there is fever then consult a Pediatrician.
