Mastifen Tablet 10 contains ketotifen (1 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Histamine Blocking: Ketotifen prevents histamine, a substance in your body that causes allergic symptoms, from attaching to cells and triggering allergic reactions.

• Prevention of Inflammatory Mediator Release: It stops the release of various substances from cells called mast cells that would otherwise cause inflammation in your lungs and airways.

• Anti-inflammatory Action: By reducing the inflammatory response in your respiratory system, ketotifen helps decrease the swelling and irritation that make breathing difficult during asthma attacks.

• Stabilisation of Mast Cells: Ketotifen works by stabilising special cells in your body (mast cells) that, when triggered by allergens, would normally release chemicals causing allergic symptoms.

• Store at room temperature (not exceeding 30°C).

• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Store in a safe place out of reach of children.

• Do not use the medicine after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• If you have allergic rhinitis or asthma, minimise contact with known triggers such as dust, pollen, and pet dander by keeping your living space clean and using air purifiers.

• Drinking plenty of water can help thin mucus secretions in your airways, making it easier to breathe when you have asthma or allergic conditions.
