Description

KETOTIFEN belongs to a class of anti-histamine or anti-allergic drugs used to treat various allergic conditions. On the other hand, it can treat mild atopic asthma symptoms by decreasing lung inflammation. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

KETOTIFEN contains Ketotifen, an anti-histamine which is used to treat allergies. It blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine,’ which is naturally involved in allergic reactions. Thus, KETOTIFEN effectively treats allergic conditions.

Take KETOTIFEN as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take KETOTIFEN for as long as your doctor prescribes it. KETOTIFEN may cause irritation, drowsiness, hyperactivity, and sleep disturbances. Most of these side effects of KETOTIFEN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any component present in the KETOTIFEN or if you have diabetes or epilepsy. KETOTIFEN is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women as it is a pregnancy category C drug. Before taking KETOTIFEN, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are now taking to rule out any potential adverse effects or interactions. KETOTIFEN may be impaired to your ability to drive or operate machinery during the first days of treatment. So drive or operate machinery only if you are alert.
