Ketof

Clinical Trials

Extensive clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic solution in the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Studies typically show rapid onset of action and sustained relief.

Lab Monitoring

• Not typically required for topical ophthalmic use.

Doctor Notes

• Educate patients on proper instillation technique to avoid contamination and maximize efficacy.
• Advise patients about potential for transient blurred vision immediately after application.
• Ensure patients understand that this is for allergic itching and not for infections.

Patient Guidelines

• Do not wear contact lenses if your eyes are red.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 10 minutes before reinserting them.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.
• Keep bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Missed Dose Advice

If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose.

Driving Precautions

May cause temporary blurred vision or mild ocular irritation immediately after instillation. Patients should be advised to wait until vision clears before driving or operating machinery.

Lifestyle Advice

• Avoid known allergens that trigger allergic conjunctivitis (e.g., pollen, dust mites, pet dander).
• Maintain good eye hygiene.
