What Experts Say

Ketotifen works as both an antihistamine and a mast cell stabiliser, which is why doctors across Pakistan commonly prescribe it for long-term allergy and asthma prevention rather than for treating a sudden attack. Its protective effect builds gradually over time with consistent, regular daily use rather than occasional dosing.

Paediatricians often favour the syrup form specifically for young children who cannot swallow tablets comfortably or reliably. Specialists remind parents that visible improvement in allergy or asthma symptoms can take two to four weeks to appear, so stopping the medicine too early usually undoes much of the benefit gained.

Because ketotifen can cause noticeable drowsiness in some patients, doctors advise extra caution for school-going children during exam periods and for adults who drive vehicles or operate machinery regularly. It should never replace fast-acting rescue treatment during an active, ongoing asthma attack requiring immediate relief.
