Always follow your doctor’s prescription precisely. Never adjust your dosage without consulting them. Typical adult dosages range from 1 to 4 mg daily, often divided into two doses. Children’s dosages vary significantly based on age and weight; your physician will provide specific instructions. Ketotifen comes in various forms – tablets, syrup, and eye drops – each with its own administration guidelines.
Taking Ketotifen Tablets
Swallow ketotifen tablets whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing them, as this can alter absorption. Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Don’t double up on doses.
Using Ketotifen Syrup and Eye Drops
For syrup, use the provided measuring device to ensure accurate dosage. Shake well before each use. For eye drops, follow the instructions on the packaging carefully. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface. If you’re using both tablets and eye drops, maintain the prescribed schedule for each separately.
Remember, this information is for general guidance only. Always refer to your physician or pharmacist for personalized advice on Ketotifen use. They can address any specific concerns you may have about your prescription.
