Medicine Description ketoti-pharco 120ml
ketoti pharco 120ml syrup is a medication that contains ketotifen, which functions primarily as a selective antagonist of histamine H1 receptors. By blocking these receptors, ketotifen prevents the typical allergic symptoms associated with histamine release, such as itching, sneezing, and nasal congestion. Furthermore, ketotifen stabilizes mast cells, inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators like histamine and leukotrienes. This dual mechanism not only alleviates the symptoms of allergic reactions but also helps in managing bronchial asthma by reducing airway hyperreactivity and inflammation, thereby enhancing overall respiratory function.
