In Prevention of Asthma
Zaditen Eye Drop works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in the lungs. It prevents the symptoms of asthma, such as tightness in chest, wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing. This allows you to carry out daily activities more easily and confidently.
It may take a few weeks for Zaditen Eye Drop to show full effects. Keep taking it regularly as prescribed even if you do not have any symptoms (this means it is working).

How Zaditen Eye Drop works
Zaditen Eye Drop is an antihistamine for the eye that treats allergic symptoms by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine). It is also a mast cell stabilizer that prevents allergic reactions by reducing the release of natural substances that cause an allergic reaction. This relieves eye swelling, discomfort, itching and irritation.
