Unique multiple mode of Action:
- Anti - histamine
Ketotifen is a potent relatively selective non-competitive H1 receptor antagonist. Thereby reduces itching, redness and swelling (within 15 min).
Ketotifen has 1000 folds greater selectivity for H1 than for the H2 receptors.

- Mast cell stabilizer
Ketotifen inhibits inflammatory effects through inhibition of the
release of chemical mediators from activated mast cells. So prevents
the signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.

- Eosinophil inhibitor:
Ketotifen inhibits Eosinophil infiltration activation and degranulation
This reduces the swelling normally seen in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis
functions.
