Fenat Tablet 1 mg contains Ketotifen Fumarate, an oral antihistamine with additional mast cell stabilizing properties. It is primarily used in the prevention and management of allergic conditions and certain respiratory disorders. By reducing the body’s allergic response, Fenat Tablet helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes, and bronchial irritation.

Ketotifen works through a dual mechanism of action. First, it blocks histamine H1 receptors, preventing histamine—a chemical released during allergic reactions—from binding to its receptors and causing symptoms. Second, it stabilizes mast cells, which reduces the release of inflammatory mediators involved in allergic reactions. This combined effect makes Fenat Tablet effective for long-term allergy control and prevention of allergic flare-ups.

Unlike fast-acting antihistamines used for immediate relief, Ketotifen is mainly used as a preventive therapy. It may take several weeks of regular use to achieve its full therapeutic effect.
