Medicine Description allerban 100ml
allerban 100ml syrup is a medication that contains ketotifen, an antihistamine known for its ability to inhibit the actions of histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions. Ketotifen works primarily by blocking H1 receptors on cells, thereby preventing histamine from binding to these receptors and exerting its effects. Additionally, ketotifen stabilizes mast cells, which are responsible for releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators. By preventing the degranulation of these cells, ketotifen effectively reduces the overall allergic response, alleviating symptoms associated with conditions such as allergic rhinitis and asthma.
