Zadit Syrup 1 mg/5 ml contains Ketotifen Fumarate, an antihistamine with mast cell stabilizing properties used for the prevention and management of allergic conditions. It is commonly prescribed for long-term control of allergic symptoms such as asthma-related allergic reactions, allergic rhinitis, and other hypersensitivity disorders. Unlike fast-acting antihistamines, Ketotifen works gradually to reduce the frequency and severity of allergic episodes.

This oral syrup formulation is especially suitable for pediatric and adult patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, offering easy administration and accurate dosing.

Therapeutic Uses

Zadit Syrup is indicated for the management and prevention of various allergic conditions, including:

• Allergic asthma (as preventive therapy, not for acute attacks)
• Allergic rhinitis (seasonal or perennial)
• Allergic conjunctivitis
• Chronic urticaria (hives)
• Other hypersensitivity-related respiratory and skin conditions

It helps reduce the frequency of wheezing, coughing, and breathing discomfort caused by allergens.

Mechanism of Action

Ketotifen Fumarate works through dual mechanisms:

• Mast Cell Stabilization: Prevents the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators responsible for allergic reactions.
• Antihistaminic Effect: Blocks H1 histamine receptors, reducing allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and watery eyes.

Due to its preventive action, consistent use is necessary to achieve optimal therapeutic benefits.

Dosage and Administration

• The dosage should be determined by a physician based on age, body weight, and clinical condition.
• It is usually taken twice daily, preferably with food to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Regular use is important for effective prevention of allergic symptoms.
• Do not use it for sudden asthma attacks or emergency relief.

Possible Side Effects

Some patients may experience mild to moderate side effects, including:

• Drowsiness or sedation
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness
• Increased appetite or weight gain
• Mild gastrointestinal discomfort

Most side effects are temporary and reduce as the body adjusts to the medication. Medical attention should be sought if severe reactions occur.
