Ketotifen eye drops contain an antihistamine and may be used to prevent or
reduce allergic eye symptoms.
The most common side effects are headache, runny nose and eye irritation.
Although most side effects are usually not serious, if any are bothersome
contact your physician.
Do not insert soft contact lenses for at least ten minutes after using this
drug in the eyes, since the preservative may be absorbed into the contact
lenses.
How to use eye drops:
(a) Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
(b) Stand in front of a mirror and tilt your head back.
(c) With one hand pull the lower lid of your eye downward to form a
kind of pocket.
(d) With the other hand, place the dropper as close as you can to the
eye in which you are putting the drops but do not let the dropper
touch the eye.
(e) Drop the prescribed number of drops into the pocket you have made
with the lower lid. Placing the drops on the eyeball may cause
stinging.
(f) If you don't get a drop in your eye properly, apply another drop.
(g) Release the lower eyelid, close your eyes, do not blink, and press
your finger gently against the inner corner of the eye (near the
bridge of the nose) for at least one minute to prevent the drops
being drained away into the tear duct.
(h) Wipe away any excess liquid around the eye with a tissue.
(i) To keep the dropper clean, do not touch it against the eye or any
other surface.
(j) Carefully replace the cap on the dropper bottle.
Store this medication in its original labelled container at room
temperature, out of the reach of children.
