Ketotifen is a medication that is primarily used to treat allergic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and atopic dermatitis (eczema). It is available in various forms, including oral tablets and eye drops.
Ketotifen works by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the body that are involved in the allergic response. It acts as a mast cell stabilizer, preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances. Histamine is responsible for causing symptoms like itching, sneezing, and watery eyes in allergic reactions.
