HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Zaditen is an antihistamine and mast cell stabiliser. Antihistamines can sometimes be associated with weight gain through changing certain chemical pathways in the brain.
It is possible that this may be contributing to your weight.
It may also be contributing to your dizziness.
Singulair may be another option for you.
I hope this helps
