Zaditor Eye Drops Side Effects

What Is Zaditor?

It is also a mast cell stabilizer that may help to prevent allergic reactions by reducing the release of certain natural substances in the body that may cause allergic reactions.
What Are Zaditor Eye Drops Used For?
Zaditor eye drops are used to help treat the symptoms of dry, itchy, or irritated eyes as a result of pollen, dust, animal dander, or other airborne allergies. The drops may also help reduce sneezing and a runny or watery nose. To use the drops, wash your hands thoroughly, then tilt your head back, looking upward. Pull the lower eyelid down and hold the dropper directly over the eye and apply one drop into the lower eyelid. Look down and close your eyes for approximately one to two minutes. Try not to blink and avoid rubbing your eyes. Replace the dropper cap after each use and keep the bottle tightly closed and stored in a clean, dry area at room temperature.
