Tadi Suspension

Introduction

Tadi is a medication that contains the active ingredient Loratadine. It is available in the form of a suspension and is commonly known by its generic name.

Uses

Tadi is primarily used to relieve symptoms associated with allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. It is effective in treating allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Tadi for adults and children above 12 years of age is 10 milligrams (mg) once daily. For children aged 2 to 12 years, the dosage is based on their body weight, and it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate dose.

The suspension should be shaken well before each use. It can be taken with or without food, but follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the product label.

Mechanism of Action

Tadi belongs to a class of medications called antihistamines. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that is responsible for causing allergy symptoms. By blocking histamine, Tadi helps alleviate the symptoms of allergies, providing relief to the patient.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Tadi may include drowsiness, headache, dry mouth, and fatigue. These side effects are generally mild and do not require medical attention unless they persist or worsen.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. If you experience any serious side effects such as fast or irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, or rash, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Tadi may interact with certain medications, including ketoconazole, erythromycin, and cimetidine. These interactions can affect the way Tadi works in the body or increase the risk of side effects. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any herbal supplements.

Precautions

Before taking Tadi, inform your healthcare provider if you have any known allergies, liver disease, or kidney disease. Tadi may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, and your healthcare provider can determine if it is safe for you to use.

Additionally, Tadi may cause drowsiness. Therefore, avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, until you know how the medication affects you.

Storage

Tadi should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be kept out of the reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the suspension, and discard any unused medication after the expiration date.
