Zaditen (ketotifen) is a medication used to treat allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, and allergic conjunctivitis. It works by blocking the release of histamine, a chemical that is released during an allergic reaction.
Zaditen is very popular by its ability to inhibit the down regulation of beta receptors caused by drugs like Clenbuterol. Clenbuterol, Albuterol and Ephedrine used to be cycled on and off because they desensitize the various receptors they act on to produce their lipolytic effect.
Ketotifen would therefore allow the use of these fat burning drugs for much longer periods. Ketotifen has a second unique mechanism of action by its powerful effect to up regulate the body’s beta-adrenergenic receptors, primarily the beta-2 receptors.This property makes Zaditen an effective compound to use when combined with Clenbuterol.
When using Clenbuterol the body’s beta-2-adrenergic receptors down regulate very quickly only making Clenbuterol a useful fat burner for two week cycles. When implementing a drug like Zaditen the rules are broken, allowing bodybuilders to use Clenbuterol for cycles of twelve weeks or longer.
Dosages for the purpose of beat 2 upregulation is often at 1-2mg daily.
Benefits of Zaditen
The primary benefit of Zaditen is its ability to reduce the symptoms associated with allergic conditions. It can help to reduce inflammation in the airways and eyes, and prevent the onset of symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Zaditen can also be used to prevent asthma attacks in patients with asthma.
Side Effects
Zaditen can cause some side effects, which may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and upset stomach. Rare but serious side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, and blood disorders. Patients who experience any of these side effects should seek medical attention promptly.
Half-life
The half-life of Zaditen is approximately 20 hours. This means that it takes this amount of time for half of the drug to be eliminated from the body. As a result, it is typically taken once daily.
