Product Information

  • Description

    Ketotifen's mechanism of action involves blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical that triggers an allergic response in the body. Specifically, ketotifen binds to the histamine 1 (H1) receptor, thereby reducing the symptoms associated with allergies, such as itching, sneezing, a runny nose, and eye irritation. Additionally, ketotifen has similar properties to steroids, providing further anti-inflammatory effects that aid in managing allergic reactions. Once absorbed into the bloodstream, the ketotifen tablet travels to the affected eye, where it reduces allergy-related inflammation and irritation, providing relief from the annoying symptoms. The relief that ketotifen offers is crucial for improving quality of life for those suffering from allergic conjunctivitis and other allergic reactions affecting the eye.
