Medicine Description zaditen 1mg
zaditen 1mg tablets is a medication that contains ketotifen, a potent antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. Upon administration, ketotifen blocks the H1 receptors, preventing the effects of histamine, which is responsible for allergic responses. Additionally, it inhibits the release of mediators from mast cells, thereby reducing the inflammatory response associated with allergic conditions. This dual action not only alleviates allergic symptoms but also contributes to the prevention of bronchospasm in asthma patients, making it useful in managing chronic allergic inflammation.
