Posology
Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and over)
The recommended dose of Aerius syrup is 10 ml (5 mg) once a day.
Paediatric population
The prescriber should be aware that most cases of rhinitis below 2 years of age are of infectious origin (see section 4.4) and there are no data supporting the treatment of infectious rhinitis with Aerius.

Children 1 through 5 years of age: 2.5 ml (1.25 mg) Aerius syrup once a day.

Children 6 through 11 years of age: 5 ml (2.5 mg) Aerius syrup once a day.
The safety and efficacy of Aerius 0.5 mg/ml syrup in children below the age of 1 year have not been established. No data are available.

There is limited clinical trial efficacy experience with the use of desloratadine in children 1 through 11 years of age and adolescents 12 through 17 years of age (see sections 4.8 and 5.1).

Intermittent allergic rhinitis (presence of symptoms for less than 4 days per week or for less than 4 weeks) should be managed in accordance with the evaluation of patient’s disease history and the treatment could be discontinued after symptoms are resolved and reinitiated upon their reappearance.
In persistent allergic rhinitis (presence of symptoms for 4 days or more per week and for more than 4 weeks), continued treatment may be proposed to the patients during the allergen exposure periods.
