Xyzal, a low-sedating antihistamine that became available in the fall of 2007, is now available in liquid form. Xyzal solution is indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic hives in children 6 years of age and older. And Xyzal solution has a tutti-frutti flavor which is quite pleasant. Since Zyrtec syrup (Xyzal’s “parent” compound) had been indicated for children as young as 6 months of age prior to going over-the-counter, I would expect that Xyzal will eventually be indicated for children younger than 6 years of age.
