Zaditen Oral Solution Description

If your child is at least 2 years old and experiencing breathing difficulties from asthma or has allergic activities that include rhinitis, talk to your doctor about Zaditen Oral Solution, also called Zaditor. Zaditen Oral Solution will not stop an asthma attack in progress but works as a preventive medication that must be taken on a regular basis in order to be effective .

Ketotifen Reduces the Immune Response to Antigens

The active ingredient of Zaditen Oral Solution is Ketotifen, an anti-allergy medicine that will decrease the body’s response to allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, or dust mites. When administered to your child as directed, Zaditen Oral Solution will work as a mast cell stabilizer by blocking a cellular process that releases histamine, among other mediators, that can cause allergic symptoms and can trigger an asthma attack. Without the immune response to an allergic reaction, breathing comfortably is maintained as well as controlling a runny nose, sneezing, or itchy red eyes.

Here’s What Can Happen When Contact with an Allergen Occurs

When an allergic response is triggered, your immune system is alerted to an unwanted threat so it produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) to protect you. IgE sets your immune response in motion and substances are released in your body, including histamine. This causes an increase in the permeability of your capillaries, resulting in watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing as this is your body’s effort to wash out the intruder or cause inflammation to contain the threat and start healing . This reaction can also affect your lungs and you begin to cough or wheeze and breathing becomes difficult.

Before Zaditen Oral Solution is Prescribed

Zaditen Oral Solution is strawberry flavored and is easy for administering to young children with the dosing syringe. Do not try and measure with a teaspoon. Tell your pediatrician or family doctor about other medical conditions or allergies your child has and list any OTC or Rx meds they are currently taking or using to determine if Zaditen Oral Solution is the best treatment.

Zaditen Oral Solution Precautions

If your child is diabetic, monitor glucose levels often as Zaditen Oral Solution may affect blood sugar. Should drowsiness continue or asthma attacks are still frequent after taking Zaditen Oral Solution for 4 weeks or longer, talk to your doctor as the dosage may need adjusting. During the early stages of this treatment, your child may become drowsy and could be in harm’s way if left unattended. Store Zaditen Oral Solution safely out of children’s reach and sight.
