Ketotifen exhibits anti-allergic and antihistaminic properties. It works similarly to sodium cromoglycate by preventing asthma attacks rather than treating acute episodes.
- It stabilizes mast cells, preventing the release of histamine and other mediators that trigger allergic and asthmatic responses.
- It provides long-term preventive control of asthma, reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of attacks.
- Ketotifen may take a few weeks to reach its full prophylactic effect.
- It does not relieve active asthma attacks.
