Zaditen SRO Description

Tired of watery, itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing? Talk to your doctor about a prescription for Zaditen SRO (slow release oral), also called Zaditor SRO, an antihistamine that can help with the allergy symptoms that can occur with allergic asthma. As an add-on to your asthma medication or alone, Zaditen SRO can clear up the extra mucus and fluid that occurs as an immune response to pollen, mold, pet dander, and house dust mite droppings which you can breathe in without even being aware of it. As a slow release drug, Zaditen SRO is taken only once daily to prevent and treat allergy symptoms which also helps keep your asthma symptoms reduced but will not stop an asthma attack in progress.

Block the Actions of Histamine to Reduce Allergy Symptoms

When taken as directed, the active ingredient called Ketotifen Extended Release will locate and bind to the H1 histamine receptors located in the smooth muscles of your peripheral nervous system. H1 causes blood vessels to widen, vessel permeability increases, and airways constrict. As Zaditen SRO binds to and blocks the receptors, histamine cannot activate any of these actions so your eyes stop watering, nose stops running, and your airways remain open. Zaditen SRO is not a cure for allergic asthma, but a continued treatment that can treat and prevent your symptoms.

Conditions Treated by Zaditen SRO

Allergic asthma is triggered by inhaled allergens and can occur year round. Your hypersensitivity to allergens cause your immune system to over react and signals for back-up to remove the threat. Your watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing is your body’s way of trying to flush out the intruder. As part of the healing process, other natural body chemicals may cause inflammation and swelling that can interfere with your breathing.

Before Zaditen SRO is Prescribed

Ask your doctor if there are any risks with taking Zaditen SRO while you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any OTC or Rx drugs you currently take or use, including herbal products and dietary or vitamin supplements to determine if Zaditen SRO is safe for you to take.
