Zaditen (ketotifen) is a prescription medication used as a preventive treatment for asthma in adults and children 6 months of age and older. It is designed to help reduce the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms over time and is not intended to provide immediate relief during an acute asthma attack.
Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, which can make breathing difficult. Common asthma symptoms include:
Zaditen is used as a long-term maintenance treatment to help control asthma symptoms and reduce the likelihood of asthma attacks. With regular use, it may help:
Because Zaditen works gradually, it may take several weeks of regular treatment before its full benefits become noticeable.

When used regularly as prescribed, Zaditen may help:
Zaditen is a preventive asthma medication and is not a rescue treatment for sudden asthma symptoms or acute asthma attacks. Always keep your rescue inhaler or other emergency asthma medication available as directed by your healthcare provider.
Continue taking Zaditen exactly as prescribed, even if you are feeling well. Regular use is important for achieving the full preventive benefits of treatment. If your asthma symptoms worsen or you need to use your rescue medication more often than usual, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
Zaditen is available as an oral tablet and oral syrup. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider to help achieve the best control of asthma symptoms.
The tablets may be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. If you are using the syrup form, carefully measure each dose using an appropriate measuring device to ensure accurate dosing.
The appropriate dose of Zaditen depends on factors such as age, medical condition, and individual response to treatment.
For children over 3 years of age, the usual recommended dose is:
For adults, doses may vary depending on individual needs. Some adults may be prescribed up to:
Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and do not change your dose or dosing schedule without medical advice.
Zaditen works as a preventive treatment and is most effective when taken consistently. Take the medication at the same time each day to help maintain steady levels in your body and make it easier to remember your doses.
Because Zaditen works gradually, you may not notice immediate improvement. Continue taking the medication as prescribed, even if you feel well, unless your healthcare provider instructs you to stop.
If your child has been prescribed Zaditen:
Zaditen should only be used by the person for whom it was prescribed. Do not give Zaditen to another child or adult, even if they have similar symptoms. Using prescription medications without medical supervision may be harmful.
Regular follow-up appointments can help your healthcare provider monitor your response to treatment and make any necessary adjustments. Because Zaditen is used to help prevent asthma symptoms, ongoing treatment and monitoring are important to ensure the medication remains safe and effective.

Your healthcare provider can review your medications and help identify any potential interactions to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, speak with your healthcare provider before taking Zaditen. They can help evaluate the potential benefits and risks of treatment based on your individual situation and determine whether Zaditen is an appropriate option for you.
You should continue taking Zaditen for as long as your healthcare provider prescribes it. Because Zaditen is used as a preventive treatment for asthma, it is important to take it regularly, even if you are feeling well and not experiencing symptoms. Do not stop taking the medication, change your dose, or alter your treatment schedule without consulting your healthcare provider. Stopping treatment without medical advice may reduce asthma control and increase the risk of symptoms returning. Regular follow-up appointments can help your healthcare provider determine how long treatment should continue and whether any adjustments are needed.
