Dazit

Product Overview

Dazit is an antihistamine medication containing Desloratadine as its active ingredient. This medication effectively alleviates symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). By blocking histamine receptors in the body, Dazit reduces allergic reactions such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and nasal discharge. Available in tablet form, it provides 24-hour symptom relief without causing drowsiness.

Uses

Dazit is indicated for:
• Seasonal allergy symptoms (sneezing, nasal itching, rhinorrhea, ocular irritation)
• Perennial allergic rhinitis
• Chronic spontaneous urticaria (skin itching and redness)
The medication effectively counters allergic responses triggered by environmental allergens including pollen, dust mites, and animal allergens.

How to Use

Administration Guidelines:
1. Take orally with or without food
2. Swallow tablet whole with water
3. Maintain consistent dosing schedule
4. For liquid formulations, use calibrated measuring device
Do not alter tablet form (crush/chew) as this may affect drug release kinetics.

How it Works
