Zaditen SRO 2mg Tablets – 30s Pack
Zaditen SRO 2mg is a long-acting preventive medicine used to manage bronchial asthma and various allergic conditions. It contains Ketotifen, an active ingredient that acts as both a mast cell stabilizer and a potent antihistamine to help prevent allergic reactions before they start.
The "SRO" stands for Sustained Release Oral, meaning the tablet is designed to release the medicine slowly. This provides 24-hour protection with just one daily dose, typically taken in the evening.
What is Zaditen SRO 2mg used for?
In Nigeria, healthcare providers often prescribe Zaditen SRO for:
- Asthma Prophylaxis: Reducing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks over time.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Relief from persistent sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
- Skin Allergies: Effective management of chronic hives (urticaria) and atopic dermatitis.
How it Works
It is important to note that Zaditen is not a rescue medication. It will not provide immediate relief during a sudden asthma attack. Instead, these Ketotifen 2mg tablets work by stabilizing mast cells, preventing them from releasing chemicals like histamine that cause inflammation.
How to use Zaditen SRO
- Dosage: For most adults, the standard dose is one 2mg tablet daily in the evening.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush or chew it, as this interferes with the slow-release mechanism.
- Consistency: You may need to take it for 4 to 12 weeks to achieve the full preventive benefit.
Important Safety Information
- Drowsiness: Ketotifen can cause significant sleepiness, especially when you first start. Be careful when driving or using machinery.
- Weight Gain: Some users may notice an increase in appetite.
- Consultation: This is a prescription-only drug. Always talk to a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor to ensure it is right for you.
