Zaditen Syrup is an antiasthmatic and antiallergic medication containing the active ingredient Ketotifen. Unlike standard antihistamines that only treat immediate symptoms, Zaditen is known as a "mast cell stabilizer." It works by preventing the release of chemicals that cause inflammation and allergic reactions in the body.
Zaditen is primarily indicated for the long-term prevention of allergic conditions. It is used to:
Prevent Asthma Attacks: Reduces the frequency and severity of bronchial asthma when taken consistently over time.
Manage Allergic Rhinitis: Relieves persistent sneezing, runny nose, and nasal itching.
Treat Allergic Skin Conditions: Alleviates symptoms of chronic urticaria (hives) and atopic dermatitis (eczema).
Relieve Allergic Conjunctivitis: Helps manage itchy, red, and watery eyes associated with allergies.
Children (6 months to 3 years): 2.5ml (0.5mg) twice daily (morning and evening).
Children (over 3 years): 5ml (1mg) twice daily with meals.
Adults: 5ml (1mg) twice daily with meals. If necessary, the dose may be increased to 10ml twice daily.
Note: Zaditen is a preventative medication. It can take 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use to reach its full effect.
To ensure the medication is effective and well-tolerated:
With Food: It is best taken with meals to reduce any potential stomach upset.
Consistency is Key: Do not stop taking Zaditen suddenly, even if you feel better. It must be taken daily to maintain its protective effect on the airways.
Slow Start: If you experience significant drowsiness, our pharmacist may recommend a lower dose for the first few days to allow your body to adjust.
Ketotifen (as Hydrogen Fumarate): The active substance that prevents the release of inflammatory mediators (like histamine) from mast cells.
Indicated For: Adults and children (from 6 months of age) with chronic allergic conditions.
Precautions: This medication can cause drowsiness, especially during the first few days of treatment. Use caution when driving or operating machinery.
Contraindications:
Not for use in treating an acute asthma attack (it is a preventer, not a rescue medication).
Inform our pharmacist if the patient has a history of epilepsy or is taking oral medications for diabetes.
Q: Can I use Zaditen to stop an asthma attack happening right now?
A: No. Zaditen is a long-term preventer. For immediate relief during an attack, you must use a "rescue" inhaler like Ventolin (Salbutamol).
Q: Will it make my child hyperactive?
A: While drowsiness is the most common side effect, a very small number of children may experience "paradoxical excitation" (irritability or nervousness). If this occurs, consult our pharmacist.
Q: Is it safe to take with other allergy medicines?
A: Generally yes, but it may increase the sedative effect of other antihistamines or cold syrups. Always check with us before combining treatments.
