KETASMA 1 MG 10 Tablets

Ketasma

Ketasma is an anti-histamine or anti-allergic medication that is commonly used to treat a range of allergies. It’s also used to relieve asthma symptoms by reducing inflammation in the lungs. An allergy is your immune system’s reaction to something that isn’t detrimental to your body. ‘Allergens’ are these alien substances. The severity of an allergic reaction varies from person to person. Certain foods and seasonal allergens, such as hay fever, may cause allergic reactions in some people. Others, on the other hand, may be allergic to pollen or pet dander.

Ketotifen, an antihistamine, is found in Ketasma and is used to treat allergies. It inhibits the effects of histamine, a chemical messenger that is naturally implicated in allergic reactions. Ketasma also decreases asthma symptoms and relieves hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis) by lowering inflammation in the lungs. As a result, inhibiting histamine’s action is a good idea. Ketasma aids in the alleviation of allergy symptoms.

Ketasma should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you should take Ketasma for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some situations, the tablet form of Ketasma might induce discomfort, sleepiness, hyperactivity, and sleep difficulties. Watery eyes, a runny nose, and eye inflammation are all possible side effects of eye drops. The majority of Ketasma’s negative effects do not require medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the negative effects do not go away, consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to ketotifen or have diabetes, epilepsy, or glaucoma, you should not use Ketasma. Please tell your doctor about all other medications you’re taking before starting Ketasma. Ketasma is a pregnancy category D medicine, hence it is not suggested for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Please remove contact lenses before using Ketasma if you are using eye drops. Do not take two eye prescriptions at the same time; wait at least 5 minutes before taking the second one.

Ketasma Side Effects

Ketasma, like many drugs, has some negative effects. In some situations, Ketasma tablets and syrup might induce irritation, sleepiness, hyperactivity, and sleep difficulties. Watery eyes, a runny nose, and eye inflammation are all possible side effects of eye drops. The majority of Ketasma’s negative effects do not require medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the negative effects do not go away, consult your doctor.

Drug Recommendations

If you are allergic to Ketotifen or any of its constituents, do not take it. If you have diabetes or epilepsy, ketotifen is known to interact. Furthermore, because Ketotifen is a category C pregnancy medicine, it is unknown whether it will harm the baby, thus it should be used with caution. If you’re breastfeeding or pregnant, you should only take Ketotifen if your doctor has prescribed it. Because ketotifen is known to produce drowsiness, consuming alcohol can amplify this impact, potentially leading to unpleasant side effects. Please remove your contact lenses before using Ketotifen if you are using eye drops. Do not take two eye prescriptions at the same time; wait at least 5 minutes before taking the second one.

Interactions Between Drugs

Interactions between drugs: Oral version Ketotifen may interact with muscle relaxants (carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine), antihistamines (cetirizine, diphenhydramine), cough suppressants (codeine, hydrocodone), and sleep and anxiety medications (alprazolam, lorazepam, zolpidem).

Drug-Disease Interaction: If you have diabetes and epilepsy, an oral form of Ketotifen is known to interact, and an ophthalmic form may interact if you have glaucoma.

Before starting Ketotifen, please tell us about all the vitamins and multi-minerals you’re taking.
