Ketotifen is an antihistamine that is used to treat allergy-related itchy eyes.

Ketotifen blocks histamine, a chemical that gets released in the body as a result of exposure to certain allergens. It also prevents other chemicals that cause allergy symptoms from being released from certain cells in your body called mast cells.
By blocking these chemicals, Ketotifen relieves itchy eyes from allergies.

Ketotifen is dosed as follows:

• Adults and children 3 years and older: Put 1 drop in the affected eye(s) twice a day, every 8 to 12 hours
• Children under 3 years old: Ask your child’s provider

Ketotifen is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
