Ketomar Eye Drop 0.03% is a safe and effective ophthalmic solution containing Ketotifen Fumarate, a potent antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer. It is specifically formulated to relieve symptoms associated with allergic conjunctivitis, including redness, itching, and watery eyes. Ketomar provides fast-acting relief while also preventing the release of inflammatory mediators, making it ideal for both acute episodes and ongoing management of ocular allergies.

Allergic conjunctivitis is a common eye condition caused by exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander. The body’s immune response releases histamine and other inflammatory mediators in the conjunctiva, leading to itching, redness, and swelling. Ketomar Eye Drops target this response to provide symptomatic relief and reduce further inflammation.

Therapeutic Class

Ophthalmic antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer

Pharmacology

Ketotifen Fumarate, the active ingredient in Ketomar, functions through dual mechanisms:

1. H1-Histamine Receptor Antagonist: Blocks the binding of histamine to H1 receptors in the conjunctiva, preventing itching, redness, and swelling.

2. Mast Cell Stabilizer: Inhibits degranulation of mast cells, preventing the release of histamine and other pro-inflammatory mediators that trigger allergic reactions.

This dual action ensures both rapid symptomatic relief and long-term protection against recurrent allergic episodes. Ketomar Eye Drops are well-tolerated and have minimal systemic absorption due to topical administration.

Indications

Ketomar Eye Drop 0.03% is indicated for the management of:

• Allergic conjunctivitis (seasonal or perennial)

• Itching, redness, and swelling of the eyes caused by allergens

• Watery eyes or discomfort associated with ocular allergies

• Prevention of recurrent allergic episodes in individuals with known sensitivity

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose: Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) twice daily, approximately 8–12 hours apart.

• Administration: Wash hands thoroughly before use. Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, and instill the drop. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or surrounding surfaces.
