Zaditen (2 mg/day for 8 weeks) was administered to 284 patients who suffered from allergic rhinitis. A high rate of improvement (84.4%) was observed. Significant relief in severe cases was not observed until the 8th week. The 3 main symptoms, sneezing, nasal secretion, and nasal obstruction, progressivety improved. The number of days that the symptoms were present was decreased in moderate or severe cases. This improvement was found in 94.7% of the patients within 4 weeks of drug administration. Drowsiness was the main side effect reported (8.5%). No patients dropped out of the study due to side effects. This suggests the usefulness of Zaditen.
