Ketofall Eye Drops – Ketotifen 0.25mg/ml Eye Drops SDV, Pack Size 30
Preservative-Free Allergy Eye Drops | Alternative to Zaditen Eye Drops
Ketofall Eye Drops contain ketotifen 0.25mg/ml in preservative-free single-dose units (SDV) for the temporary relief of itchy, red and watery eyes caused by seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (hay fever eye allergy). Ketotifen acts as an antihistamine and mast cell stabiliser to help reduce allergic eye symptoms. The single-use preservative-free formulation is suitable for patients requiring sterile, convenient eye drops. Available from Dock Pharmacy.
Ketofall Eye Drops are a preservative-free ophthalmic antihistamine containing ketotifen 0.25mg/ml. They are indicated for the symptomatic relief of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, an allergic inflammation of the conjunctiva caused by allergens such as pollen, grass, dust or other environmental triggers.
Ketofall contains the same active ingredient (ketotifen 0.25mg/ml) as Zaditen Eye Drops and may be considered an alternative where appropriate.
Mechanism of Action – How Does Ketofall Work?
Ketotifen works through two complementary mechanisms:
- Antihistamine action – blocks histamine H1 receptors, reducing itching, redness and irritation.
- Mast cell stabilisation – helps prevent the release of inflammatory chemicals involved in allergic eye reactions.
Together these actions help relieve allergic eye symptoms while reducing further allergic inflammation.
Ketofall Eye Drops (Ketotifen 0.25mg/ml SDV) Pack of 30 provide fast, effective relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, commonly known as hay fever eye allergy.
Containing ketotifen, an antihistamine and mast cell stabiliser, these preservative-free single-dose eye drops help relieve:
- Itchy eyes
- Red eyes
- Watery eyes
- Irritated eyes caused by seasonal allergens
The sterile single-dose formulation eliminates the need for preservatives, making Ketofall an excellent choice for patients who prefer preservative-free eye care or require convenient single-use units.
For many patients searching for an alternative to Zaditen Eye Drops, Ketofall contains the same active ingredient (ketotifen 0.25mg/ml) and may be a suitable option where appropriate.
