Current Meds: Zaditor


How It Works: Zaditor is an ophthalmic anti-histamine, so it blocks the function of histamine in the eye. If you remember, histamine is responsible for inflammation when an allergen is detected. Zaditor also functions as a mast cell stabilizer, so it suppresses the release of mediators from mast cells, preventing the inflammatory response.


Common Side Effects: Zaditor may cause burning eyes, dry eyes, eye discharge, headache, itching, red eyes, sensitivity to light, sore throat, stinging and tearing-up. By using eye drops as opposed to a systemic anti-histamine, you avoid other side effects throughout the rest of the body. If you experience an allergic reaction (characterized by rash, difficulty breathing, tightness in chest, swelling of mouth, lips, face and tongue) or eye pain, seek medical attention immediately.
