SHORT DESCRIPTION

Ketotifen, known as ketotifen fumarate, is a medication that possesses histamine and mast cell stabilizing properties, commonly employed for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis and asthma. This orally administered drug has a suggested dose of 1 mg to be taken twice daily.

Ketotifen is used to manage the symptoms of allergic reactions, such as seasonal allergies and allergic rhinitis, in addition to being effective in alleviating asthma symptoms. Furthermore, ketotifen may be useful in reducing symptoms of other medical conditions, such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis.

Nonetheless, ketotifen usage is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the medication or any of its constituents. Patients with hepatic or renal impairment and pregnant or breastfeeding women should use ketotifen with care.

Although ketotifen has a well-tolerated profile,  possible adverse effects may include dry mouth, gastrointestinal discomfort, and somnolence. In some rare instances, more serious complications, such as liver toxicity, anaphylaxis, and angioedema, may develop. Hence, close monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary for those taking ketotifen .

Ketotifen can be bought over-the-counter in some regions; however , it typically necessitates a prescription in others. Dosage and administration may differ depending on the patient's response to the drug and the medical condition being treated.

In summary: ketotifen is a valuable medication for managing allergic conditions. Nevertheless, care should be taken when using it, and its potential adverse effects should be closely monitored. Those interested in buying ketotifen should consult with their healthcare provider and avoid online purchases without a prescription.


Ketotifen belongs to the group of stabilizers of mast cell membranes. It inhibits the release of histamine and other mediators (including leukotrienes, cytokines) from mast cells, prevents eosinophilic infiltration in places of allergic inflammation. It has blocking effect on (H1) histamine receptors, inhibits phosphodiesterase, blocks calcium channels of cells, is a functional antagonist of leukotrienes.

Ketotifen is an effective oral agent for preventing bronchial asthma. It has a pronounced anti-anaphylactic and antiallergic effect. When used alone, it does not stop asthma attacks, but leads to a decrease in the number, duration and intensity of these attacks. In some cases there is a complete disappearance of asthma attacks. The drug favorably influences the excretion, reduces eosinophilia, reduces the need for the use of bronchodilators, corticosteroids, etc.

Pharmacology

Antiallergic agent. The mechanism of action is associated with the stabilization of mast cell membranes and a decrease in the release of histamine, leukotrienes and other biologically active substances from them. Suppresses the accumulation of eosinophils in the airways caused by platelet activating factor. Prevents attacks of bronchial asthma, some other manifestations of allergic reactions of an immediate type. Blocks histamine H1 receptors.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, it is almost completely absorbed from the digestive tract. Simultaneous eating does not affect the degree of absorption of ketotifen. It is metabolized by 50% during the "first passage" through the liver. Cmax in plasma is reached within 2-4 hours. Binding to plasma proteins is 75%. Ketotifen is excreted from the body in two phases. The half-life in the initial phase is 3-5 hours, in the final phase - 21 hours. It is excreted by the kidneys, 60-70% in the form of metabolites, 1% - unchanged.

Ketotifen dosage

When taking ketotifen simultaneously with oral hypoglycemic drugs, a reversible decrease in platelet count was noted.
