Zaditen SRO 2mg Tablets – 30s Pack
Zaditen SRO 2mg is a long-acting medicine used to manage asthma and various allergic conditions. It contains Ketotifen, which works as a mast cell stabilizer and an antihistamine to help prevent symptoms before they start.
The "SRO" stands for Sustained Release Oral, meaning the tablet releases the medicine slowly throughout the day. This provides 24-hour protection with just one daily dose, usually taken in the evening.
What is Zaditen SRO 2mg used for?
In Nigeria, doctors often prescribe Zaditen SRO for:
- Asthma Prevention: Reducing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Relief from sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
- Skin Allergies: Managing chronic hives (urticaria) and other allergic skin reactions.
How it Works
Zaditen is not a "rescue" medicine. It does not provide immediate relief for a sudden asthma attack. Instead, it works over time by stabilizing the body's mast cells. This prevents the release of histamine and other chemicals that cause inflammation and allergic reactions.
How to use Zaditen SRO
- Dosage: For most adults, the recommended dose is one 2mg tablet daily in the evening.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew it, as this destroys the sustained-release mechanism.
- Patience is Key: It may take several weeks of consistent use to feel the full benefits of the medication.
Important Safety Information
- Drowsiness: Ketotifen can cause significant drowsiness, especially during the first few days. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you are sure how it affects you.
- Consult your Doctor: This is a prescription-only medication. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use.
