What.s the use of Zertin tablet? ## My son is having itching nearly from two months and he ihad already taken this tablet but after two weeks the dame itching has started ## Zertin contains the active ingredient Erdosteine, it is most commonly used to treat respiratory allergic reactions. Its typical side effects are listed by the NIH as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache. Osama, a skin allergy is usually topical. What else have you tried to treat it? Has anything else changed in your life, such as the soap you use, or your laundry detergent?

allergy ## This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does. That said, finding information on them is very difficult, since there are no databases which list them all, like there are for U.S. prescription drugs. The only thing I can suggest is that you try asking your doctor or pharmacist for more information. ## want to know he action of erdosteine
