Zaditen Syrup – Effective Allergy Relief & Asthma Prevention

Description:

Zaditen Syrup contains ketotifen fumarate, an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer used to prevent asthma attacks and manage allergic conditions. It works by blocking histamine release and reducing inflammation, helping to control symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and bronchial sensitivity.

In Nigeria, Zaditen Syrup is commonly prescribed for children and adults with allergies or asthma-related symptoms, especially for long-term prevention rather than immediate relief. It is NAFDAC-approved and available through trusted pharmacies like Sanlive, ensuring safe and effective allergy management.

Important: Zaditen is not for the treatment of acute asthma attacks. It is used for prevention and long-term control.
