Frequently asked questions

What is Ketotifeno Codramol used for?+
Ketotifeno Codramol is an ophthalmic preparation indicated for the relief of ocular allergy symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling. It is commonly prescribed for allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and seasonal allergic eye disease in patients who require targeted antihistamine and mast‑cell stabilizing therapy.
How does ketotifen hydrogen fumarate work?+
Ketotifen hydrogen fumarate works by blocking H1 histamine receptors on the surface of ocular mast cells and by stabilising those cells to prevent degranulation. This dual mechanism reduces the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators, thereby decreasing vascular permeability, itching and swelling in the conjunctiva and cornea.
What is the usual dose of Ketotifeno Codramol?+
The dosage of Ketotifeno Codramol is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the severity of the condition and patient factors. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) as directed, but the exact frequency and duration should follow the healthcare professional’s instructions.
Is Ketotifeno Codramol safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for ketotifen in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The product should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Pregnant or nursing women should discuss use with their healthcare provider before starting therapy.
How do I order Ketotifeno Codramol from GNH USA?+
To order Ketotifeno Codramol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Ketotifeno Codramol compare with other ocular antihistamines?+
Ketotifeno Codramol combines H1‑receptor antagonism with mast‑cell stabilisation, offering both immediate symptom relief and longer‑term control of inflammation. Compared with agents such as olopatadine, which are primarily H1 antagonists, ketotifen may provide added benefit in chronic conditions where mast‑cell degranulation plays a major role.
How should Ketotifeno Codramol be stored and handled?+
Ketotifeno Codramol should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect the product from excessive light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain sterility and potency.
How is Ketotifeno Codramol administered?+
The medication is administered as an eye drop. The patient should wash their hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place a single drop into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s). The eye should be closed gently for a few seconds to allow absorption, and contact lenses should be removed before dosing.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ketotifeno Codramol?+
Serious risks, although rare, include severe ocular inflammation, corneal ulceration, allergic reactions that may cause eyelid swelling, anaphylaxis, and sudden loss of vision. Any signs of worsening eye condition, intense pain, or visual changes should prompt immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Ketotifeno Codramol?+
Ketotifeno Codramol should be avoided by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ketotifen or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with active severe ocular infections until the infection is resolved, and caution is advised in those with uncontrolled glaucoma or intra‑ocular pressure issues.
