Overview

KETOTIFEN EYE DROPS What is ketotifen. Ketotifen is an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer used as an eye drop to prevent and treat eye itching caused by allergies (also known as allergic conjunctivitis). An oral formulation of ketotifen is available to treat asthma and hives, but it is only available in the United States as an eye drop. It can be applied as one drop into the affected eye(s) twice daily every 8-12 hours and should not be used more than two applications daily.   How can ketotifen help alleviate certain long COVID symptoms. Histamine is a chemical our immune system releases that causes allergy symptoms.
