KETOTIFEN

Ketotifen is an antihistamine used to prevent allergy symptoms and, in eye-drop form, to relieve itchy allergic eyes. It works best taken regularly.

What Ketotifen Is Used For

• Preventing allergy symptoms
• Allergic eye irritation, in drop form
• Support in some allergic conditions

Common Side Effects

• Drowsiness, especially at first
• Dry mouth
• Increased appetite

Precautions

Ketotifen taken by mouth often causes drowsiness in the first days, which usually eases – avoid driving until you know how it affects you. It works as a preventer, so it needs regular use to help. For the eye drops, remove contact lenses before use.
