Ajalorin 2.5mg Orodispersible Tablets (Tutti Frutti)

Ajalorin 2.5mg Orodispersible Tablets (Tutti Frutti) contain a lower, paediatric strength of desloratadine, a non-drowsy antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itchy hives in children. The tutti frutti flavour and fast-dissolving orodispersible format are designed to make dosing easier and more acceptable for children who may resist swallowing conventional tablets.

This product is a non-prescription (over-the-counter) option available in Malaysia and Singapore for managing common childhood allergy symptoms, and it is formulated at a lower strength than the adult 5mg tablet to suit a child’s smaller body size. Parents should always confirm the correct age range and dose for their child with a pharmacist or doctor before use, particularly for very young children.

Desloratadine works by selectively blocking histamine H1-receptors, preventing histamine released during an allergic reaction from causing the typical symptoms of sneezing, nasal congestion, itching, and swelling. At the lower 2.5mg paediatric strength, the tablet provides effective symptom relief appropriate to a child’s body weight while maintaining the low sedation profile that makes desloratadine a preferred option for daytime use in children.

Place the orodispersible tablet on the child’s tongue, where it will dissolve quickly without needing to be chewed or swallowed with water, or it may be given with water if preferred. It is usually given once daily, with or without food, and a caregiver should ensure the child does not spit out the dose before it has dissolved.

Ajalorin 2.5mg Orodispersible Tablets are generally intended for children within the age range specified on the product label, given as one tablet once daily. The exact dose and suitability for a specific child’s age and weight should always be confirmed with a pharmacist or doctor before starting treatment, and this lower paediatric strength should not be substituted for the adult 5mg tablet.

Ajalorin 2.5mg Orodispersible Tablets typically have a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in their original, unopened blister packaging. Always check the expiry date printed on the blister and carton before giving a dose.

Store below 30°C in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep tablets in their blister strip until immediately before giving to the child, as orodispersible tablets are sensitive to humidity. Keep out of the reach and sight of children, since the flavoured tablets may be mistaken for sweets.

• Known hypersensitivity to desloratadine, loratadine, or any other ingredient in the tablet
• Children below the minimum age stated on the product label, unless directed by a doctor
• Significant kidney impairment without medical advice on dosing
• Not recommended for use without first confirming the correct age-appropriate strength with a pharmacist

• Avoid giving together with other antihistamine-containing products to prevent unintentional double-dosing
• Caution in children with significant kidney problems, where a doctor may adjust the dosing frequency
• No significant food interactions are expected with normal use
• Inform the pharmacist of any other medicines the child is taking before starting treatment

• Because the tablets are flavoured, store them well out of children’s reach and sight so they are not mistaken for sweets
• Keep tablets in their blister until the moment of use to prevent premature dissolving from moisture on little fingers
• Give at the same time each day to help maintain consistent symptom control
• Watch for the child’s individual response, as sedation is uncommon but can occasionally still occur
• Consult a doctor if symptoms do not improve within a few days or if the child develops new or worsening symptoms

Ajalorin 2.5mg Orodispersible Tablets (Tutti Frutti) are formulated specifically for children in Malaysia and Singapore who need a lower, age-appropriate dose of desloratadine that is easy to take without water. Because the flavoured tablets can be appealing to children, they should always be stored safely out of reach, and parents should not substitute this paediatric-strength product for the adult 5mg tablet, or vice versa, without checking with a pharmacist.
