Ketasma Tablet is used to help prevent asthma symptoms and to relieve allergic conditions such as allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing ketotifen, which belongs to a class of medicines called antihistamines with mast cell stabilising action.
This medicine reduces the release of chemicals that cause allergic reactions and airway inflammation. It is used for long-term prevention, often in children with allergic asthma, and does not relieve a sudden asthma attack. It can take several weeks to reach its full effect. Take it with food, usually twice a day, as prescribed.
Avoiding known triggers such as dust, pollen, pet dander and smoke, and keeping your home well ventilated, can help reduce allergy and asthma symptoms.
Do not stop any other asthma medicines, especially inhalers or steroid tablets, when starting this medicine unless your doctor advises. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have epilepsy or a history of seizures, or diabetes, and about other medicines you take, especially sleeping tablets, antihistamines and diabetes tablets. It commonly causes drowsiness, so do not drive if affected and avoid alcohol. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek urgent medical help if breathing worsens.
