What is Ketotifen?
Ketotifen, the active ingredient in Ketotifen Unit Dose Stulln, is an antihistamine (mast cell stabilizer) presented as a unit‑dose eye drop for ocular use. It treats allergic conjunctivitis and ocular itching caused by allergy in patients of all ages.
GNH USA supplies Ketotifen Unit Dose Stulln as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.
What is Ketotifen used for?
Ketotifen is used to manage allergic conditions of the eye by stabilising mast cells and blocking histamine receptors.
- Allergic conjunctivitis: reduces redness, swelling and itching of the conjunctiva. - Ocular itching due to allergy: provides rapid relief of itch and discomfort. - Seasonal allergic eye disease: helps control symptoms during pollen seasons.
What are the side effects of Ketotifen?
Ketotifen eye drops are generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience local reactions.
Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation at the application site. - Transient blurred vision after instillation. - Mild eye irritation or foreign‑body feeling.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction with swelling of the eyelids or face. - Severe eye pain or sudden loss of vision. - Corneal ulceration or keratitis. - Persistent redness unresponsive to treatment. - Vision changes requiring immediate ophthalmic evaluation.
What precautions apply to Ketotifen?
When using Ketotifen eye drops, consider the following safety measures.
- Hypersensitivity: avoid use in patients with known allergy to ketotifen or any excipients. - Glaucoma: use with caution in patients with narrow‑angle glaucoma. - Contact lenses: remove lenses before instillation and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. - Symptom monitoring: discontinue and seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or new ocular pain develops. - Systemic antihistamines: be aware of additive antihistaminic effects. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.
What does Ketotifen interact with?
Ketotifen may interact with other ocular or systemic agents.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use of other topical antihistamines: may increase risk of ocular irritation. - MAO inhibitors combined with systemic antihistamines: can potentiate antihistaminic effects.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Systemic antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine): monitor for additive sedation. - Ocular anesthetics: may enhance local discomfort. - Other mast‑cell stabilisers: assess for overlapping therapeutic effect.
