Used For:

Ketotifen is an antihistamine primarily used to prevent and treat allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergies). It is also used in some cases to manage asthma by preventing bronchoconstriction and reducing inflammation. Ketotifen works by blocking histamine receptors in the body, thus alleviating allergic symptoms like sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. Additionally, it has some mast cell-stabilizing effects, which help reduce the release of histamine and other allergy-causing chemicals.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of ketotifen include drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, and increased appetite. Some individuals may also experience fatigue, headache, or mild stomach upset. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. In some cases, ketotifen may cause changes in behavior or mood, especially in children.

Precautions:

Ketotifen should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of glaucoma, kidney or liver problems, or respiratory conditions such as asthma. Because it can cause drowsiness, it is important to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while using ketotifen. Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using ketotifen. As with other antihistamines, ketotifen should be taken according to the prescribed dosage to avoid excessive sedation or side effects.
