Zaditen is a type of asthma medication which, when taken every day by mouth, may reduce the frequency, severity and duration of asthma symptoms or attacks in children. Your physician will have prescribed Zaditen if your child's asthma is not well controlled, or to allow a reduction in your child's daily use of other antiasthma medications. Zaditen is taken orally twice a day. Zaditen does not provide relief for an acute attack, so that inhaled bronchodilator medication will still be required for rapid relief of symptoms when a severe attack occurs.

How does Zaditen work? What will it do for me?
Zaditen is used in combination with other medications for the treatment of mild allergic asthma in children. It is an anti-allergy medication that helps to reduce asthma symtpoms by reducing the body's response to allergens (substances that cause allergic reactions). These allergens can often trigger an acute asthma attack.
How should I use Zaditen?
Children over 3: The recommended dose is 1 mg twice daily, in the morning and evening. Younger children dose based on body weight.
What form(s) does Zaditen come in?
Tablet, Liquid
Who should NOT take Zaditen?
Anyone allergic to ketotifen or any other components of the formulations should not use them. People sensitive to benzoate compounds should not take ketotifen syrup.
What side effects are possible with Zaditen?
Side effect incidence is low. The most common side effects are drowsiness, weight gain, rash, and breathing difficulties.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for Zaditen?
Symptomatic and preventive antiasthmatic drugs (e.g., b2-agonists such as salbutamol, sodium cromoglycate, corticosteroids such as beclomethasone, budesonide and fluticasone) already in use should not be reduced immediately when treatment with ketotifen is started. Follow your doctor's instructions closely.
Occupational Hazards: Since drowsiness may occur in the early stages of therapy, people engaging in activities requiring rapid and precise responses should be cautioned.
What other drugs could interact with Zaditen?
Ketotifen may interact with a number of different drugs. Be sure to tell any health professional involved in your care of all the drugs you are taking, including those that can be bought without a prescription.
Ketotifen may increase the effects of sedatives, sleeping pills, antihistamines and alcohol.
Pregnancy: Safety in human pregnancy has not been established. Ketotifen should therefore be given to pregnant women only in compelling circumstances.
Breastfeeding: Ketotifen is excreted in breast milk; therefore mothers receiving ketotifen should not breast-feed.
Ketotifen syrup should not be administered to those people sensitive to benzoate compounds. Ketotifen tablets are benzoate-free and can be taken alternatively to such people.
In diabetic patients, the carbohydrate content of the syrup (5 mL: 4 g carbohydrate) should be taken into consideration.
